Delhi is currently grappling with extreme heat, as temperatures soared past 43 degrees Celsius on May 25, 2023, marking the warmest May night in nearly 14 years. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that the maximum temperature at Safdarjung reached 43.5 degrees Celsius, while the minimum was 32.4 degrees Celsius, the highest for May since 2012. Other areas in the capital experienced even higher temperatures, with Palam hitting 44 degrees Celsius. In response to these conditions, the IMD has issued a yellow alert for heatwave conditions, predicting a maximum of 44 degrees Celsius for May 26. However, relief is on the horizon, as weather disturbances are expected to bring pre-monsoon rainfall activity starting May 28. Additionally, Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 254, indicating poor air quality, exacerbated by humidity and haze trapping pollutants. Conditions are expected to improve soon, leading to lower minimum temperatures and higher daytime maximums.
