Brace for hotter days next week

NEW DELHI: If the past few days have been hot, get ready for hotter days. The Met department has predicted heat wave conditions for Delhi and neighbouring areas from the middle of May. With the western disturbance that has so far compounded the heat of the past few days by increasing humidity levels set to move eastwards, dry conditions will prevail from now on which will lead to a gradual rise in temperatures.

A slight respite is on the cards around May 11 when another western disturbance might give rise to some thundery activity in parts of Delhi and neighbouring areas.

Tuesday's maximum temperature went up to 40.8 degrees Celsius, two degrees above normal while the minimum was 25.3 degrees Celsius. Palam was the hottest in the NCR with a maximum temperature of 42 degrees, followed by Faridabad with 41.7 degrees Celsius and Gurgaon with 41.6 degrees Celsius.

"The maximum temperature at Delhi's Safdarjung observatory during the first week of May rapidly increased from 36.5 degrees Celsius on May 2 to 42 degrees Celsius on May 4. It has since then remained remained in the range of 41-42 degrees Celsius. Heat wave conditions have not occurred so far over Delhi but are likely to develop around the middle of May," said Dr OP Singh, deputy director general of meteorology, Delhi Regional Meteorological Centre.

Officials said that the latest model output and its analysis have indicated that the maximum temperatures over Delhi will be in the range of 41 to 42 degrees Celsius between May 8 and 10th, come down slightly to 39-40 degrees Celsius during May 11 and 13 rise again to 41-43 degrees Celsius during May 14 to 16. "This will be the situation at Safdarjung but certain areas including Palam may see the temperature rise up to 44 degrees Celsius on May 16," said Singh.

Under the impact of the present western disturbance, rain and thundershowers are expected in many areas in Jammu & Kashmir till Wednesday.

Rain and thundershowers are also expected in one or two areas in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab during the same period.

Another western disturbance is expected to affect the western Himalayan region between May 11 and 13 might cause some thundery development in Delhi on May 11 but will cause light to moderate rainfall in the hills including Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal and Uttarakhand. Thunderstorm and dust storms may also occur at one or two places over Punjab and Haryana during the weekend.
