Temperature Touches 50°C In north, 35 Killed In Northeast Due To Heavy Rain

On Tuesday, there was an intense heatwave across most of northern and central India, with temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius in Churu, Rajasthan, and Sirsa, Haryana, and nine degrees above normal in Delhi.

The highest temperature recorded in Delhi was 49 degrees Celsius, according to at least three meteorological stations. As to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Mungeshpur and Narela in Delhi recorded 49.9 degrees Celsius, while Najafgarh recorded 49.8 degrees.

“Today, heatwave to severe heatwave conditions prevailed over most parts of Rajasthan, Haryana-Chandigarh-Delhi, in many parts of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and in isolated pockets of Bihar and Himachal Pradesh,” the weather department said.

As of right now, Churu in Rajasthan had the highest recorded temperature in the nation (50.5 degrees Celsius). Sirsa-AWS in Haryana came in second with 50.3 degrees, Mungeshpur and Narela with 49.9 degrees, Najafgarh with 49.8 degrees, Sirsa with 49.5 degrees, Ganganagar with 49.4 degrees, Pilani and Phalodi in Rajasthan, and Jhansi with 49 degrees Celsius.

According to the IMD, there may be a break in the hot conditions after May 30.

“Expect relief from the heat wave in northwest and central parts of the country after three days due to a western disturbance and moisture incursion from the Arabian Sea. There could be some thunderstorm activity in northwest India and rain in the western Himalayan region,” IMD chief Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said.

Cyclone Remal caused intense rain and thunderstorms that resulted in at least 35 fatalities in northeastern states, the worst-hit being Mizoram, while dozens more were reported missing.
