"Temperatures in Delhi-NCR region and northwest India are above normal which will continue in coming days. Maybe after June 20, the temperature will fall," Anand Sharma, Deputy Director-General, IMD said on Tuesday.
He said there might be some respite after June 20. "We are expecting a low-pressure system to form in the Bay of Bengal which will strengthen the easterlies and that can bring rain," he said.
