Delhi is currently facing a severe heatwave, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing a yellow alert due to rising temperatures. The Safdarjung weather station has recorded minimum temperatures above normal, while daytime highs are expected to reach 40–42°C. Isolated areas may experience heatwave conditions, with dry winds contributing to discomfort. The forecast indicates that this intense heat is likely to persist through the weekend and into early next week, with only slight relief expected mid-week. Additionally, Delhi's air quality remains poor, with air quality index (AQI) levels exceeding 200, posing health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. Authorities recommend minimizing outdoor activities during peak hours and ensuring proper hydration as residents prepare for a prolonged period of extreme heat.
