Delhi is set to face a heatwave in the coming week, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting temperatures between 40°C and 42°C on April 7 and 8. A heatwave alert has also been issued for several north Indian states, including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Himachal Pradesh. On Friday, Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 38.4°C—4.4 degrees above normal.
