While the Safdarjung observatory recorded its maximum at 41.6 degrees Celsius which was the highest of the season, Palam was a step ahead as the mercury here settled at a whopping 43.1 degrees which is also the highest this season.

Similar weather condition is expected today as well wherein the temperatures will continue to be on the higher side only.

Currently, a Western Disturbance is approaching Jammu and Kashmir. Its induced cyclonic circulation is over North Rajasthan and adjoining Punjab region. A trough is also extending from this system southeastwards across Haryana, Delhi, and further towards West Uttar Pradesh.

These systems are expected to influence the wind pattern which will change to southeasterly which will be moist in nature. Thus, along with increase in temperatures, humidity will also increase which is an ideal combination for inducing some weather activity. Thus, it will result in some dust storm, thunderstorm activity over Delhi and adjoining areas of Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad.

This weather activity is expected to commence tonight itself and will continue until tomorrow as well. Due to this, mercury is expected to take a dip by about two to four degrees. April 29 onward, temperatures will once again increase. Thus, April is expected to end on a hotter note.
