Skies are expected to remain clear on Wednesday, with the maximum temperature likely to settle around 34 degrees Celsius and the minimum near 24 degrees Celsius.
Strong winds during the morning hours could provide temporary relief from the heat. The weather may turn partly cloudy on September 25, although no significant rainfall has been forecast for Delhi in the immediate period.
The latest IMD subdivision forecast has not placed Delhi under any major rainfall warning. Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi are also not under a weather warning for September 23 to 25 in the current seven-day outlook.
