The maximum temperature in the national capital settled at 33.6 degrees Celsius, seven notches below normal, it said. Kuldeep Srivastava, the head of the IMD”s regional forecasting centre, said Delhi recorded an all-time low for June on Tuesday owing to overnight rainfall, thunderstorm, and gusty winds under the influence of a western disturbance.
Delhi recorded a mean maximum temperature of 37.5 degrees Celsius in May, the lowest for the month in 13 years. It was also the first time since 2014 that the Safdarjung Observatory, considered the official marker for the city, did not record a heat wave in the pre-monsoon period, according to the IMD.
It is also the first time since 2011 that Palam did not record a heat wave in the pre-monsoon period this year, he said.
