The minimum temperature was recorded at 32.4°C, the highest since May 26, 2012. Other areas in the city, such as Palam and Lodhi Road, recorded maximum temperatures of 44°C and 43.2°C, respectively. The IMD has issued a yellow alert for heatwave conditions, forecasting similar temperatures for Tuesday. Weather experts also predict light rain and dust storms later in the evening.

The IMD anticipates that weather conditions will improve from tomorrow, leading to lower minimum temperatures and higher daytime maximums.
