In an unexpected turn of weather events, Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 28.4 degrees Celsius on Thursday, marking an unusual warmth for this time of the year. Meteorologists attribute this anomaly to a combination of high-pressure systems and clear skies, which have led to an increase in daytime temperatures across the region.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has noted that while this temperature is higher than the seasonal average, it is not unprecedented. However, residents have expressed surprise at the early onset of such warm conditions, typically expected later in the year.
Experts advise the public to stay hydrated and take necessary precautions as the city continues to experience higher-than-usual temperatures. Meanwhile, weather forecasts suggest a potential drop in temperature over the weekend, offering some respite to the city’s inhabitants.
This unexpected weather pattern has sparked discussions about climate change and its impact on regional weather systems, prompting calls for increased environmental awareness and sustainable practices.
