Mercury soars to a searing 42°C: A 1st this summer

City residents are starting to feel the June sizzle, with the maximum temperature going up to a scorching 42.1°C on Sunday, the highest this summer.

CHANDIGARH:

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), no respite is likely this week. A fresh Western Disturbance is on the horizon around June 14, which could bring along some welcome cool, but until then, temperatures will continue to climb.

On Sunday, the maximum temperature rose from 39.9°C on Saturday to 42.1°C, 3.3 degrees above normal. This is the first time this year that the maximum temperature has crossed 42°C, as May, usually the hottest month of the year, remained rain-drenched.

High humidity, which went up to 60%, made matters worse, leaving residents sweating.
