Temperatures in Delhi are expected to touch 44 degrees Celsius on Friday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD)'s latest forecast said. For May 22, the weather office put the city under an orange alert, and the minimum temperature is set to stand at 32 degrees Celsius.
An IMD official told news agency PTI that heatwave conditions are expected to continue for the next one week. The IMD said heatwave conditions are likely to continue over Delhi during the next seven days due to the prevalence of lower tropospheric dry northwesterly and westerly winds and the absence of any western disturbance affecting the plains of northwest India, reports PTI.
