The IMD has forecast a 2 to 4°C temperature drop in North India, including the NCR, alongside light rainfall and wind speeds up to 50 km/h. Orange alerts have been issued for Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, and Jharkhand as thunderstorm activity is expected to intensify across northern, eastern, and western regions, offering some relief from prevailing heat.
Delhi NCR is baking under an intense heatwave, with April 26 afternoon temperatures around 43–45°C. The worst is expected to last until April 27 due to hot westerly winds and above-normal conditions. Relief is likely from April 28 when winds turn cooler, a Western Disturbance develops cloud cover, and light rain or thunderstorms could bring a 4–6°C drop.
