The plains of North India i.e. Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan including the city of Chandigarh have been witnessing hot weather conditions for the last many days. Pre-monsoon activities have not been seen in all these states for a long time now.

Temperatures in all these places have been settling above normal. Meanwhile, some places in Punjab and Haryana have already crossed 40 degrees and are above normal by 4-5 degrees. Whereas, minimum temperatures were seen in mid-20s.
In view of these hot weather conditions, heatwave like conditions have also prevailed over few pockets of both these states.
The maximum temperatures recorded over parts of both the states are as follows: Ambala and Chandigarh recorded 40.4°C and were above normal by 4°C, Hisar 43.9°C/ 5°C, Karnal 41.0°C / 4°C, Narnaul 43.2°C / 4°C, Rohtak 42.3°C / 4°C, Amritsar 41.2°C / 5°C, Ludhiana 41.1°C / 4°C, Patiala 41.6°C / 5°C.
Currently, a Western Disturbance is approaching the Western Himalayas and an induced cyclonic circulation is also seen over North Rajasthan and adjoining Punjab. These combined weather systems are likely to affect the plains of North India.
Therefore, we can say that light rains accompanied by dust storm and thunderstorm are expected over the northern plains during the next 48 hours. These activities are likely to occur during the later parts of the day.
Furthermore, a change in winds can also be witnessed. However, occurrence of weather activities and change in winds will bring a drop-in temperature. Slight relief will be seen from the ongoing hot weather conditions.
