The strongest heat wave spell continues to persist over Northwest India as forecasted causing IMD to issue Red alerts on all the states of Northern & Central India from the last several days. Border areas of Rajasthan in India & Sindh in Pakistan are experiencing extreme temperatures with some remote places temperature recording up to 53°C while in majority parts like Phalodi, Barmer, Jaisalmer, Bikaner experiencing temperature near 50° Celsius. The conditions likely to be remain similar till weekend & expect little relief there after.
The reason for this long spell as we told, due to absence of any active western disturbance & the typical climatology during this time causing formation of the intense heat low over Rajasthan. Jacocabad in Pakistan touched 52°C while surrounding areas registered 53°C. Due to the northwesterly wind pattern the heatwave spell expending it's wings even up to Central & Eastern India.
Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh recorded 49°C temperature today while Capital Delhi recorded 48.8°C. Niwari in Madhya Pradesh was also pretty close to that with 48.7°C temperature while the orange city, Nagpur in Vidarbh recorded 45.6°C.

Heat wave conditions also touched foothills of the Western Himalaya as Una in Himachal Pradesh recorded 44°C while Kathua in Jammu & Kashmir recorded 47.1°C. The Abnormal heat caused 46.5°C temperature in Gaya, Bihar while 47.5°C in Daltongunj of Jharkhand too. Nearby Sambalpur in Odisha also saw 44-45°C temperature. This abnormal heat caused disruption in electricity service by blasting transformers, wind meal in Rajasthan while killing nearly 33 people.
However temperature likely to see a significant reduce from the start of next month as a new western disturbance will approach the region triggering the heat low over Rajasthan that will drag the moisture through Gujarat & SE Rajasthan increasing the moisture content over the atmosphere there.
This will cause development of
strong thunder shower activities over the region with strong gale force dusty winds & dropping the temperature in most of the region to 4-6°C.
