New Delhi: Hot and dry weather is likely to prevail in the national capital Monday, though a slight relief from the scorching heat is expected in the next 48 hours. The city recorded a low of 29.4 degrees Celsius at 8.30am and the maximum temperature is likely to hover around 43 degrees Celsius, a MeT official said.
Hot and dry weather conditions will persist with the sky remaining mostly clear, he said. The weatherman said slight relief from the stifling heat is expected Tuesday onwards due to the "possibility of thundery development".

The weather department has also predicted severe heat wave conditions in parts of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and in isolated pockets over Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, Saurashtra and Kutch, Vidarbha and Marathwada. The highest maximum temperature was recorded at 48.9 degrees Celsius in Churu of Rajasthan on Sunday.
