Rajasthan's Churu becomes hottest city with temperature crossing 48 degrees

Almost the entire north India plains is in the grip of severe heatwave condition which has thrown normal life out of gear as the maximum temperature reached nearly 49 degrees Celsius in the desert state of Rajasthan.
In the national capital, people battled scorching sun for another day and the maximum temperature settled at 44.4 degrees Celsius, four notches above the season's average, weather officials said.
The Met office in Delhi has forecast partly cloudy skies with likelihood of very light rain and thundershowers toward evening and night tomorrow.
A MeT official in Rajasthan said at least five places recorded their maximum temperatures in excess of 45 degrees Celsius -- Sriganganagar being one of them where the mercury touched 48.7-degree C mark.
Other places where the mercury went past 45 degrees Celsius are Churu (47.6) , Bikaner (46.2), Pilani (45.6), Kota (45.5). Jaisalmer recorded exactly 45 degrees Celsius, while Jaipur's maximum was 44.9 degrees Celsius, the official said.
