Sweltering heat, scorching parts of north interior Tamil Nadu, is likely to continue for a few days. The Regional Meteorological Centre has warned of a heatwave condition likely to sweep over pockets of north interior region of the State on Thursday.
Though many other parts of the State have escaped heatwave warning as yet, the RMC has said the day temperature is set to climb up by two to four degree Celsius above normal, in some pockets in interior Tamil Nadu. While interior districts may have to brace for oppressive heat, as the mercury level will hover around 38-41 degree Celsius till April 28, some other parts of the State and Puducherry may experience a maximum temperature of 35-38 degree Celsius.
Relentless heat broiled many places on Wednesday and mercury level inched past the 40-degree mark as well. Nine weather stations in interior Tamil Nadu recorded sizzling temperature up to 42 degree Celsius. Erode was the hottest place on Wednesday, as the day temperature peaked to 42 degree Celsius, which is nearly five degree Celsius, above normal for the month.
