Delhi is set to experience scorching temperatures in the upcoming days, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heatwave alert for the Capital.

Senior scientist Naresh Kumar from IMD, Delhi, cautioned, “The temperature in Delhi is expected to hover around 38°C for the next two-three days. Subsequently, we anticipate a gradual rise in temperature by 1-2 degrees, along with the possibility of light rain.”

As per the IMD’s website, Monday’s weather forecast predicts a blend of clouds with sporadic light rain and gusty winds in certain areas. As the week progresses, the mercury is projected to climb, reaching up to 40°C by Wednesday and maintaining this level until Saturday.
