Delhi Records Minimum Temperature of 33.8°C, Highest for June in Six Years
The IMD classifies it as a warm night when the maximum temperature is over 40°C and the minimum temperature is 4.5°C or more above normal. Delhi recorded its fifth consecutive warm night with the national capital recording a minimum temperature of 33.8°C on Tuesday, six degrees above normal. This is the highest so far this season and Delhi’s highest for June in six years, India Meteorological Department (IMD) data showed. Delhi last recorded a higher minimum on June 13, 2018, when it was 34°C, Met officials said.
A heatwave occurs when the maximum temperature is over 40°C while also being 4.5°C or more above normal.
Delhi could record its 10th consecutive heatwave day today if the maximum temperature is 4.5 degrees above normal.
On Monday, Delhi’s maximum temperature was 45.2°C, with a minimum of 33°C. The capital is likely to record a maximum of 45°C today, with the IMD forecasting heatwave to severe heatwave conditions in the city. Clear skies are expected, with heatwave to severe heatwave conditions at many places. Strong surface winds of 30-40 km/hr will prevail during the day, with westerly winds bringing dust and heat from Rajasthan.
The IMD has forecast marginal relief from Wednesday onwards due to an approaching western disturbance, which may bring light rain to parts of the city on both Wednesday and Thursday.
“There are more chances of light rain on Thursday, but we could see some drizzle late on Wednesday too. We will also see gusty winds, and the combined effect is likely to bring down the maximum temperature by 2-3 degrees at most places,” said an IMD official.
