Palam Observatory

An intense heat wave swept today across the national capital and nearby cities like Gurgaon. Delhi reported a maximum temperature of 43.4 degree Celsius, according to the Palam observatory of the India Meteorological Department.

Heat wave conditions scorched the national capital Thursday, with the Palam Observatory registering a high of 46.8 degrees Celsius, the maximum temperature recorded in May since 2013.

Even as overcast skies played hide and seek on Friday, they failed to bring any respite as temperature in some parts of the national capital touched the sweltering 40-degree mark. But the heatwave will subside by April 3, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

The national capital today sizzled under the torrid sun as the mercury soared to settle at 43 degree Celsius, four notches above the season's average. At Palam Observatory, the maximum temperature was recorded at 44.5 degrees.

Weather continued to be pleasant in the national capital today as light rains kept the mercury below the 40 degrees Celsius mark for second consecutive day.
