Cloudy sky offers little relief to Delhiites from heat

Overcast conditions today offered little relief to Delhiites reeling under hot and humid conditions even as the mercury settled at 42.4 degrees Celsius.
While the humidity in air remained low as the levels oscillated between 56 and 24 per cent, the maximum temperature was recorded three notches above the season's average at 42.4 degrees Celsius, marginally less than yesterday's, a MeT department official said.
The minimum temperature was recorded at 30 degrees, two notches above the normal, the official said, adding, dust storms are likely to occur in some areas today.
However, for tomorrow the weatherman has predicted partly cloudy sky.

"The sky will be partly cloudy throughout the day tomorrow. The maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to hover around 42 and 29 degrees respectively," the official said.
The maximum temperature yesterday settled at 42.9 degrees Celsius while minimum temperature was recorded at 27.7 degrees Celsius.
