Rain falls, power demand soars on hottest day of yr

NEW DELHI: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert for Saturday, forecasting continued rain and a gradual dip in temperatures over the next few days.

The maximum temperature rose to 42.3°C on Friday—1.9°C above normal and the highest recorded this year, surpassing the previous peak of 42.1°C on April 26. Thursday's maximum was 40.6°C.

The minimum temperature was 26.2°C, slightly below normal and marginally higher than Thursday's 25.4°C.

According to the IMD, the maximum temperature is expected to remain around 41-43°C on Saturday, falling to 39-41°C by Monday and further to 37-39°C by Tuesday. The minimum temperature is likely to hover around 27-29°C over the weekend.

Krishna Mishra, a scientist at IMD, attributed the forecast dip in temperature to increased moisture from the Arabian Sea.
