Delhi and its neighbouring regions — Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad — continue to reel under intense heatwave conditions, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) warning that temperatures in the national capital could touch a dangerous 46 degrees Celsius on Thursday.
The weather department has placed Delhi under an orange alert for the next five days as temperatures are expected to remain extremely high across the city and the surrounding NCR regions. Several parts of Delhi-NCR have been witnessing scorching daytime heat and unusually warm nights over the past few days.
