The mercury maintained an upward trend in most parts of the country on Saturday, with Delhi and Jamshedpur sweltering under the season’s highest temperatures and many areas experiencing heatwaves, forcing people to remain indoors.
The weatherman, however, predicted some respite from the searing heat in the next two-three days due to a fresh western disturbance.
In the national capital, the maximum temperature was recorded at the season’s highest at 44 degrees Celsius.
Saturday’s maximum was six notches above normal, while the minimum settled at 28.4°C, seven notches above normal for this time of the year.
