The IMD has issued a yellow alert for heatwave conditions in Delhi on Wednesday, forecasting a maximum temperature of 45 degrees Celsius and a minimum temperature of around 28 degrees Celsius.
City residents are expected to get some respite from May 29 onwards, with the weather office predicting thunderstorm and rain activity.
"Relief in heatwave conditions over the region is likely from May 29 due to a likely western disturbance along with a moisture incursion from the Bay of Bengal due to the likely formation of a lower tropospheric east-west trough," the IMD said.
