According to the weather department, there will be no relief from heatwave conditions in the northwest India and Delhi-NCR region till June 15. The temperature in northwest and Delhi-NCR may come down but there will be no respite from heatwave.
The India Meterological Department (IMD) said that heatwave conditions will continue in northwest and central India on Thursday but the temperature will not go up. According to the IMD, the mercury in Delhi-NCR and other parts of northwest India may come down by a few notches over the weekend, but no major relief can be expected before June 15.
"There is a heatwave warning for parts of northwest and central India on Thursday but a steep rise in the temperature is not predicted," senior IMD scientist R K Jenamani told PTI.
The weather agency said that relief can be predicted in the region from June 16 onwards due to moisture-laden easterly winds. Many parts of northwest and central India has been witnessing heatwave conditions since June 2 due to an onslaught of hot and dry westerly winds.
"The ongoing heatwave spell is less intense as compared to those recorded in April-end and May, but the area of impact is almost equal," Jenamani said.
The IMD official added, "Pre-monsoon activity is predicted over east Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha from June 12, but north Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and north MP will continue to see above normal temperatures till June 15."
The weather office has predicted that parts of northwest India, including Delhi-NCR, may experience marginal relief on June 11-12. There will be cloudy weather over the weekend but there are no chances of rainfall.
The maximum temperature is expected to settle between 40 degrees Celsius and 43 degrees Celsius.
