Now a significant change has been observed in the wind direction. Since last evening, the city has been experiencing easterly moderate winds, which are likely to bring pull down the day temperatures.
At 10:30 am on Tuesday, the maximum temperature was recorded at 40°C, while it was 35°C today. Therefore, we can say that a little relief from the ongoing hot weather will be observed on Wednesday.
Moreover, there is a possibility of localized dust storm/ thunderstorm activity during the later parts of the day today and tomorrow. These activities will be of short duration and not very impactful but may bring relief from hot days.
