Delhi is expected to remain under the grip of intense heatwave conditions until Wednesday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The IMD has extended the yellow alert in the national capital, warning residents to brace for continued high temperatures and dry weather.
On Tuesday, the city is likely to experience sweltering conditions, with daytime temperatures expected to remain well above normal. The ongoing heatwave has already caused discomfort among residents, particularly during the peak afternoon hours.
However, some relief may be on the horizon. The IMD has indicated that a change in weather patterns could bring a slight dip in temperatures starting Thursday. Cooler winds and possible cloud cover may offer respite from the searing heat.
Authorities have advised people to stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities. Vulnerable groups, including the elderly, children, and those with health conditions, are particularly urged to take precautions.
The extended heatwave warning highlights the growing impact of extreme weather patterns, as Delhi and other parts of northern India continue to face rising summer temperatures earlier in the season.
