IMD warns of severe heat, heavy rainfall across India
India's weather is all over the place this week: Delhi just saw its hottest day of the season, with Safdarjung reporting 36.8°C (about nine degrees Celsius above normal), while the northeast is bracing for heavy rain, and parts of the western Himalayas may see some snowfall.
The IMD has warned of severe heat in western India and heavy rainfall in the northeast; Skymet reported Delhi's recent 36.8°C reading, so heads up if you're in any of these regions.
What to expect where?
Heat waves in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and much of western India mean that people should consider staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
Meanwhile, if you're in Arunachal Pradesh or nearby states like Assam and Meghalaya, expect downpours; folks in the western Himalayas might even see some snow.
Relief for folks in north India soon
There's a bit of good news: a Western Disturbance is rolling in around March 14, likely bringing showers and cooler temperatures to Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana.
So hang tight: the heat should ease up soon!
