Delhi Weather: Due to clear sky the temperature has started increasing in Delhi. The scorching heat during the day has made it difficult for people to step out of their homes. On Tuesday, the capital’s maximum temperature was recorded at 42 degrees Celsius, which is the highest this summer season. India Meteorological Department (IMD) gave this information. Earlier, May 6 was the hottest day, when the maximum temperature was recorded at 41.1 degrees Celsius. Dry conditions led to dusty winds in Delhi, causing the air quality to fall into the ‘very poor’ category.
Dusty winds blew at a speed of 10-15 kilometers per hour throughout the day in Delhi-NCR on Tuesday. According to the Meteorological Department, there is no possibility of relief for the next three days. During this period, the maximum temperature will remain above 41 degrees Celsius and similar dusty conditions are expected to continue. Kuldeep Srivastava, scientist and head of the Regional Weather Forecasting Centre, told PTI that as per the weekly forecast, the temperature will hover around 42 degrees Celsius, resulting in heatwave (heatwave) conditions not being imposed in the capital.

Strong winds will blow
