Temperatures across the plains in north India today hovered over 43 degrees Celsius at several places with the region getting little relief from the summer sun which continues to beat down with all its intensity.
The maximum of 43 degrees Celsius in Delhi was slightly higher than yesterday's 42.6 degrees as the city continued to reel under blistering weather.
Hot winds blowing throughout the day only added to the discomfiture of the citizens.
There was a change in the minimum temperature which, at 29 degrees, was recorded below the 30-degree mark after quite some time.
The minimum, however, was still two degrees above normal.
Rajasthan remained in the grip of heat wave with Churu recording a maximum of 45.2 degrees, higher than yesterday's 44.8.
Sriganganagar sizzled at 44.4 degrees, Kota, (43.5) and Bikaner (42.7) with the weather bureau forecasting similar conditions tomorrow.
