The IMD has forecast a maximum of 43°C, with chances of very light rain across the city today due to a western disturbance

Because of a western disturbance, the IMD has predicted a maximum temperature of 43°C with a probability of very light rain throughout the city today.

Data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) available since 2011 showed that Delhi had a minimum temperature of 35.2°C on Wednesday, a huge eight degrees above normal and the highest minimum for June in at least 13 years. Additionally, Delhi has had “warm night” conditions for the sixth day in a row, meaning that residents are not relieved of the intense heat during the day.
When the minimum temperature is at least 4.5 degrees above average and the maximum temperature is over 40°C, the IMD refers to it as a “warm night.” A minimum temperature of 6.5 degrees Celsius above average is considered a “very warm night.”
Safdarjung, a weather station for Delhi, recorded a “very warm night” at eight degrees above normal, the first of the season thus far, according to IMD’s data.

According to an IMD official, the minimum temperature has been about 32–33°C for the past few days due to an approaching western disturbance that has increased cloudiness and moisture. Heat does not evaporate quickly at night when there is cloud cover. According to the official, this is what is happening right now: surfaces are heating up during the day but finding it difficult to dissipate the heat swiftly at night.
On Monday, Delhi recorded a minimum temperature of 33.8°C and a maximum temperature of 44°C, marking the tenth consecutive day of a “heatwave.” When the highest temperature is over 40°C and at least 4.5 degrees above normal, the IMD refers to it as a heatwave.

Due to the western disturbance, the IMD has predicted a maximum temperature of 43°C and the possibility of very light rain throughout the city today. According to the report, Delhi may also experience 40–50 km/h gusts.
