March 2021 witnessed highest temperature since 1945, worse days ahead: IMD Scientist Kuldeep Srivastava

Meteorologists believe that the wind was the main reason for the temperature to reach above 40 degrees on Monday because the sky was clear yesterday. Informing about the situation, meteorologist Kuldeep Srivastava said that in 1945, on March 31, the temperature was 40.5 degrees and Monday's second high was 40.1 degrees. The main reason for this is that the wind speed was very slow yesterday. He added that temperature is likely to increase by 0.5% by 31st May.
