Indian heatwave relief on the way

Rain and thunderstorms are expected to spread over heatwave affected parts of northern India and Pakistan in the coming days, bringing much needed relief to people and infrastructure.

Northwest India and Pakistan have been scorched by intense heat reaching well into the 40s over the past two weeks. The capital of India, New Delhi, had its first day not reaching 40°C on Tuesday, April 29. The average maximum temperature for this time of year is 39°C for the capital. As seen in the map below, heat has started to contract west into Pakistan.
