Delhi Records Warmest Morning in Two Years Amid Heatwave; Monsoon Relief Expected SoonPreviousNext

Delhi experienced its warmest morning in two years with a minimum temperature of 31.1°C and maximums reaching around 41-42°C amid high humidity, pushing the heat index above 50°C. The city faced heatwave conditions for consecutive days due to a delayed southwest monsoon, which is now expected to arrive around July 4. Isolated thunderstorms and light rain on June 29 provided some relief, with the India Meteorological Department forecasting continued rain and cooler temperatures over the coming days alongside a yellow alert for possible heavy rainfall and gusty winds.
