Heatwave to Affect North and Central India from June 8 to 11, Relief Expected Mid-JunePreviousNext

North and central India, including Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi-NCR, and Uttar Pradesh, are expected to experience a heatwave from June 8 to 11, with temperatures rising between 42 and 46 degrees Celsius. This surge is driven by hot, dry northwesterly winds and a high-pressure system trapping heat. Following this period, a western disturbance may bring rainfall and cooler conditions around June 11-13, offering some relief after the intense heat.
