The national capital Delhi and its surrounding territories are bracing for an unrelenting summer heatwave. Temperatures this week could skyrocket to 44 degrees Celsius propelling a looming 'loo' condition – a severe heatwave. While fluctuating weather patterns featuring clouds, strong winds, and sporadic drizzles have been buffering the heat, the city is slated for a sweltering phase ahead. According to meteorological forecasts, Delhi's temperatures are expected to cross the 44-degree mark this week, accompanied by hot surface winds which may trigger 'loo' conditions. A dry atmosphere is likely to prevail throughout the week.
