After observing comfortable temperatures for the last one week, the weather in Delhi is going to be hot once again. The scorching heat will be back to trouble Delhiites. According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India the maximum temperature has been showing an upward trend and is expected to touch 40⁰C in a couple of days.

According to Skymet data, the maximum temperature recorded on Tuesday was 30.6⁰C, which was one of the lowest maximums recorded in Delhi in last one decade in the month of May. But since then, the maximums have started to rise. The day temperature recorded on Wednesday was 32.1⁰C. It rose to record 35.4⁰C on Thursday, showing signs of settling close to 39.5⁰C, the normal average for the month.

Weather-wise there isn’t any activity happening this week, which is the singlemost reason behind this rise in temperature. A Western Disturbance that was expected to bring some rain to Delhi on Saturday, 17th of May will now be confined to parts of Rajasthan only.

So prepare yourself for hot days ahead. In fact nights and early morning hours that were keeping cool will also begin to get warm with rise in minimums. The early twenty minimums will now rise to settle in the mid twenties. You would certainly need to switch on your ACs once again.
