The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heatwave conditions for multiple northern and northwestern states, including Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi, from May 16 to May 18.

According to the IMD forecast, the temperature in Delhi and nearby states is expected to rise gradually until Saturday, May 18.

The MeT department said the temperature in Delhi is likely to reach 45 degrees Celsius over the weekend. The soaring mercury has been attributed to dry westerly and northwesterly winds and clear skies, which will lead to direct sunlight in northern states from Thursday.

“Mercury has been rising in Delhi over the past few days and will likely continue till the weekend as no western disturbance or rain is expected. The maximum could touch 44°C by Friday and reach 45°C on Saturday. Some stations may meet the criteria for a heatwave,” said an IMD official.

According to the latest IMD forecast, heatwave conditions will impact western Rajasthan from May 15 to May 18, while western Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and southern Haryana will witness a heatwave from today till Saturday.

A heatwave warning has been issued for northwestern Madhya Pradesh and Bihar from Friday to Saturday. The weather agency has predicted that hot and humid weather will persist in parts of Rajasthan for the next five days.

From May 17 to May 19, heatwave conditions are expected to intensify over the northern plains, including Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi NCR.
