Due to the rising temperatures in several regions, the capital’s temperature is one of the highest recorded in the country.
According to data released by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the maximum temperature in Delhi was 40.5°C on Wednesday. Due to the rising temperatures in several regions, the capital’s temperature is one of the highest recorded in the country.
According to IMD data, the Ridge in Delhi recorded a temperature of 40.1°C, which is marked as starting from 6.3°C in the normal range. In Maharashtra, temperatures above 40°C have been recorded in several cities. Akola reported the state’s maximum temperature at 42.0°C with a deviation of 3.0°C. Brahmapuri recorded 41.9°C, while Chandrapur recorded 41.2°C.
The maximum temperature recorded at other locations including Jalgaon, Amravati and Nagpur is between 40.0°C and 40.4°C. IMD data further showed that part of Madhya Pradesh also experienced high temperatures. Hoshangabad recorded 40.9°C with a departure of 3.9°C, while Shivpuri recorded 40.0°C, marking an increase of 5.7°C.
Damoh, Guna and Nowgong also recorded 40.0°C with temperature deviations ranging from 4.1°C to 4.6°C. In Uttar Pradesh, Prayagraj recorded 41.6°C, while Jhansi saw 41.1°C with a distance of 5.2°C. Kanpur recorded 40.0°C.

Nizamabad of Telangana reported 40.1°C, while Nandyal in Andhra Pradesh recorded 40.0°C. Meanwhile, IMD predicts that the number of heatwave days in northwestern India has almost doubled.
Typically, the region records five to six heatwave days in a season, but this year it may experience 10 to 12 days. “We expect we expect slightly higher than normal heat wave conditions, especially in central western India. Typically, heat wave days in Northwest India are about 5 to 6 days. This year, we expect 10 to 12 days, which is twice as normal, and twice as normal,” said Soma Sen Roy, an IMD scientist, clarifying that this is a seasonal prediction and does not mean that all days of the season are more than normal.
She added that while the forecasts indicate higher than normal calories on seasonal scales, IMD will continue to update the forecasts using extended range and daily forecasts to provide more accurate local changes. IMD officials have not commented on whether this year will be warmer than 2024, the hottest year in India. Last year, the country experienced 554 days of heat waves.
MET defines the heat wave when the maximum temperature on the plain reaches at least 40 degrees Celsius or five degrees above normal. The latest seasonal outlook for March to May 2025 released by IMD on February 28 warns that the highest temperatures will be higher than normal and lowest in most parts of the country. However, some isolated areas in the southernmost part of the Indian Peninsula and in some northeastern regions may see almost normal or below normal temperatures.
It is predicted that in this season (MAM), the lowest temperatures may be the lowest temperatures in most parts of the country, which may be the lowest temperatures in the Indian Peninsula,” the forecast is expected to heat further in the coming days, and Delhi and its neighbors may see a 1-2-2 degree celsius rise.
However, due to the dust sting in Rajasthan, the arrival of the northwest wind will drop sharply by 3-4 degrees at the highest temperature. These winds blow at 20-30 km/h at 20-30 km/h, and over the next three days, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan will sweep across across Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan, making the weather dusty and dry. In India, families and tourists gathered there despite the rising temperatures, and many expressed concern about the intensified enthusiasm.
He added, holding his son’s hand: “Lekin is Saal Zyada lag rahi hai (it was also hot last year but it felt worse this year). “Roz Dhoop Se Bachne ki Koshish Karte Hain, Lekin Garmi Se Rahat Nahi Mil Rahi (we tried to avoid the sun every day but there was no heat to escape). Even sitting in the shadows, it feels uncomfortable. ”
