Delhi-NCR continues to experience intense summer heat, with Safdarjung recording a maximum temperature of 42.2°C, the highest of the month so far and about 2°C above normal.

Ridge and Pitampura were the hottest locations at 43.4°C. Temperatures are expected to rise further and may touch 44°C over the next two days.

While current temperatures remain just below official heat wave criteria, conditions remain extremely uncomfortable.

Relief is on the horizon as a fresh western disturbance is expected to reach the northern hills on June 11. This will activate a cyclonic circulation over Haryana and Rajasthan, triggering dust storms, thunderstorms, and strong winds across Delhi between June 11 and 13.

Temperatures are likely to ease gradually after this spell.
