During the next 24 hours, heatwave conditions expected to persist over isolated pockets of Saurashtra and Kutch, Konkan and Goa. Rain and thunderstorm with isolated lightning strikes may occur over Sikkim sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Kerala.

Moderate winds from the north-west direction are expected to continue over North-West and Central India. The weather for the rest of India will remain almost dry.

Temperatures in the national capital, which has seen a consistently warmer-than-usual March, are set to rise over the weekend and mercury is likely to touch 38 degrees Celsius by Monday, according to weather forecast by scientists at the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

According to Hindustan Times, the spike in temperature is expected as the Capital has seen clear skies in recent days, allowing direct sunlight to hit the land surface, officials added.

Kuldeep Srivastava, head of IMD’s regional weather forecasting centre, said on Friday, “The mercury levels will be on a rising trend till March 29. It is likely to be one of the warmest Holi that the city has ever seen, but the comparison would be a little difficult because the festival falls on different dates.”

However, there will be partial relief from the heat soon after, with temperatures expected to fall from March 30. “There is a forecast of strong winds on March 30 and March 31; this will help bring down the temperature again. From Tuesday, the maximum temperature is expected to be around 31-32 degrees Celsius again,” said Srivastava.
