Delhi Records Highest-Ever Temperature at 52.3°C

Delhi and parts of northern and central India are experiencing a severe heatwave, with a provisional record temperature of 52.3C in Delhi, potentially the highest ever recorded in India. The heatwave has led to warnings of heat-related illnesses, at least three deaths, and increased medical consultations. Authorities are taking measures to manage water shortages and protect vulnerable populations, while scientists attribute the extreme heat to global warming. The India Meteorological Department forecasts continued heatwave conditions and an above-average monsoon season.
