The day today began with a temperature of 27.6 degrees Celsius early morning, signaling a hot and uncomfortable day ahead. The IMD predicted very hot weather for the national capital on Monday, with mercury reaching 44 degrees Celsius. 

Strong surface winds were also predicted during the day, though they are unlikely to provide any comfort from the scorching heat. At 8:30 AM, the humidity levels were recorded at 48 per cent, which the weather department said could add to the discomfort throughout the day.

The maximum temperature in Delhi on Sunday had reached 42.1 degrees Celsius, which was the highest recorded so far this June.
