Delhi on Monday recorded the third hottest February day
Northwest, central and west India are predicted to record maximum temperatures of three to five degrees above normal over the next five days, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday.
Many parts of the country are already recording temperatures that are usually recorded in the first week of March.
The Met office had said Monday that significantly higher-than-normal temperatures may have an adverse impact on wheat and other crops.
A senior meteorologist at the IMD said temperatures in northwest India are likely to drop by two degrees Celsius over the next two days after a western disturbance affecting the western Himalayan region recedes.
However, maximum temperatures are likely to remain three to five degrees above normal in the region as well as central and west India over the next five days, he said.
On Monday, most places in northwest, central and west India logged their maximum temperatures in the range of 35 degrees Celsius to 39 degrees Celsius.
Delhi on Monday recorded the third hottest February day since 1969 with the maximum temperature at the Safdarjung observatory, the national capital's primary weather station, soaring to 33.6 degrees Celsius.
