Part of Delhi experienced light rainfall and a dust storm, offering respite from the scorching heat that has plagued the city with temperatures hovering around 50 degrees Celsius. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasted thunderstorms, dust storms, and rain with strong winds until June 4. Despite a recent record-breaking temperature of 52.9 degrees Celsius, IMD clarified a potential bias of 3 degrees Celsius. The extreme heat has surged power demand to an all-time high, prompting government calls for electricity companies to ensure adequate supply. Delhi also faces water shortages, seeking assistance from neighboring states.
