IMD warns Delhi will hit 43 to 45C amid heatwave
Heads up: The IMD says Monday's weather is going to be pretty intense. North and Central India are bracing for a serious heat wave: think Delhi hitting 43 to 45 degrees Celsius, with dusty winds and maybe some evening thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, the northeast is still getting hammered by heavy rain as the monsoon picks up in the south.
Brahmpuri records 47.1C amid heatwave
This heat wave isn't just a Delhi thing: it stretches across Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Vidarbha.
Some spots are topping 43 degrees Celsius; Brahmpuri in Vidarbha even hit 47.1 degrees Celsius over the weekend.
The IMD expects heatwave conditions to persist across northwest and central India through the week, with temperatures in east and adjoining peninsular regions easing from May 29 onward.
Over in the northeast (Assam, Meghalaya), it's all about torrential rain (Tura just got drenched with 29cm in one day) and strong thunderstorms are likely this week across Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Manipur.
