Back-to-Back Western Disturbances Expected to Ease North India's Heatwave

North India has experienced extreme heat with temperatures exceeding 40°C across Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan. Meteorologists forecast a series of back-to-back Western Disturbances—weather systems originating from the Mediterranean—that may bring dust storms, thunderstorms, and rainfall starting April 27. These disturbances are expected to lower temperatures below 42°C from April 29, offering relief from the ongoing heatwave. The India Meteorological Department is monitoring the situation, noting that such consecutive disturbances during intense heat are uncommon.
