Delhi Hits 52.3 Degrees
Today, Delhi’s weather office recorded the highest temperature ever experienced in India, reaching a scorching 52.3 degrees Celsius at 2:30 pm in the Mungeshpur area. This extreme heat prompted a surge in power demand across the national capital, with the electricity department reporting an all-time high consumption of 8,302 megawatts (MW) as residents relied heavily on air-conditioning to cope with the heatwave.
In addition to Delhi, several other regions reported dangerously high temperatures. Phalodi in Rajasthan recorded 51 degrees Celsius, while another location in Rajasthan reached 50.8 degrees Celsius. Sirsa in Haryana also faced extreme heat, with temperatures hitting 50.3 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, a noticeable drop in temperatures by up to 4 degrees Celsius was observed in several districts of southern Rajasthan, including Barmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Sirohi, and Jalore. This cooling trend is attributed to the incursion of moist winds from the Arabian Sea, signaling the start of a reduction in heatwave conditions over northwest India.
According to Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) data, which utilizes computer models to forecast future weather based on current observations, this cooling trend is expected to continue moving northwards, offering gradual relief from the heatwave starting May 30. Additionally, moist winds from the Bay of Bengal are anticipated to bring a gradual decrease in maximum temperatures over Uttar Pradesh beginning Thursday.
