Delhi is facing a significant rise in temperatures this week, with forecasts indicating a peak of 46°C by Sunday, May 17. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms and gusty winds early in the week, which may provide temporary relief from the heat. Starting Monday, May 11, temperatures are expected to reach around 38°C, accompanied by rising humidity levels. By Tuesday, May 12, patchy rain could offer a slight dip in temperatures, but humidity will continue to make conditions uncomfortable. As the week progresses, the impact of the western disturbance will wane, leading to clearer skies and a steady increase in temperatures. By Thursday, May 14, heatwave-like conditions will begin to set in, with temperatures climbing into the 40°C range. The situation will worsen on Friday, May 15, as minimal cloud cover and persistent dry heat will make outdoor activities exhausting. By Saturday, May 16, Delhi is likely to experience one of its hottest days of the week, with temperatures soaring into the mid-40s. The culmination of this heat surge is expected on Sunday, when the mercury may reach 46°C, creating intense heat stress across the National Capital Region (NCR).
