Heavy Rain And Strong Winds In Delhi-NCR After Mercury Shattered Century Old Record Of 50 Degrees Celsius

Delhi Weather Update: Drizzle comes after Delhi broke its previous highest temperature record, with mercury soaring way over the 50-degree Celsius mark.

Bringing respite from extreme heat, parts of Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) received rain with strong winds and drizzle on Wednesday evening after temperatures had constantly remained above 45 degrees Celsius. According to the Meteorological Department, the temperature has decreased due to western disturbances. It is expected to continue dropping from today and for the next few days.

The regional Meteorological department had earlier predicted thunderstorms with light rain and gusty winds with speeds of 30-40 km/h over a few places in Delhi and NCR, including Gohana, Sonipat, Rohtak, Kharkhoda (Haryana), and Pilakhua, Hapur, Gulaoti, Siyana, Sikandrabad, Bulandshahar (UP). 

The change in weather comes after Delhi broke its highest temperature record, with the mercury soaring well over the 50-degree Celsius mark. Earlier on Wednesday, Delhi witnessed its highest-ever temperature in over a century, as Mungeshpur recorded 52.3 degrees Celsius.

Spike In Mungeshpur Temperatures

Speaking with ABP News, Meteorologist Dr Naresh said that Mungeshpur is an automatic representative station, while Palam and Safdarjung are representative weather stations with data spanning many years from the IMD.

"Currently, data on the maximum temperature from other areas of Delhi is coming in. In places with concrete jungles or more greenery, there can be significant temperature variations. A drop in temperature will be observed in northwest India now," he told ABP News.

"We have issued a red alert for heat in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan. It is expected that the temperature will start to decrease from tomorrow. Winds are coming from the Arabian Sea, bringing moisture. Due to the western disturbance, there is also a possibility of drizzle now," the meteorologist added.
