Delhi sizzles at 52.9°C: IMD probes possible 'sensor error' in record-breaking heatwave
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) clarified the record-breaking 52.9°C temperature in Delhi's Mungeshpur as a sensor error or local anomaly. IMD predicts relief from the heatwave in the next 2-3 days due to rain and cooler winds. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju flagged the 52.3°C report as unlikely, awaiting official confirmation. Light showers in Delhi-NCR provided temporary relief, with temperatures expected to gradually decrease in Northwest and Central India.
