North & Central India Brace for Peak Heat
The plains are heating up faster than usual this season. According to the India Meteorological Department, temperatures across Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh are likely to hover between 40°C and 45°C.
Delhi has entered a critical phase, with a heatwave alert in effect from April 24. Temperatures are expected to cross 42°C, with hot conditions set to continue for the next 4-5 days. Dry weather and steady winds will keep the discomfort levels high.

Thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds ranging between 50-70 km/h are likely. States like Nagaland, Mizoram, and Tripura may also witness isolated hailstorms, adding to the risk of damage and disruption.
