Delhi weather has remained warm for the past few days, but temperatures had not settled way above the normal levels. In fact, maximums were settling quite close to normal due to which the summer heat was not felt to a greater extent.
However, today, the maximum temperatures over Delhi soared sky high settling close to the 40-degree mark. Today, Palam observatory recorded the maximum temperature at 38.8 degrees Celsius which is the highest of the season. Also, maximum temperature at Safdarjung settled at 37.4 degrees, which is also the highest this season. Both of these temperatures have settled 6 degrees above the normal levels.

Previously, northerly winds were keeping the temperatures under check. However, a cyclonic circulation has now formed over Central Pakistan leading to change in wind direction. Thus, winds have now started blowing from the southwest direction. These hot winds have been travelling from Balochistan region where temperatures have already been settling above the 40-degree mark.
These hot winds have further led to an increase in the temperatures over the Delhi and the NCR region, making today the hottest so far in this season. These maximum temperatures are expected to follow a similar trend with minor fluctuations only.
After 48 hours, temperatures may once again dip by a few degrees but will continue to settle above the normal levels.
