India Faces Brutal Heat Dome as Temperatures Climb to 46°C

Forecasters warn that from Monday, June 8, daytime highs in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi-NCR and Uttar Pradesh will climb to 42–46°C. The crest of this heat spell is expected around June 10–11, with some relief by Friday. Hot, dry winds—known locally as loo—will sweep in from the Thar Desert and amplify temperatures. A high-pressure ridge aloft will act like an invisible lid, trapping and intensifying the heat. Parched soils will allow most of the sun’s energy to warm the air instead of turning moisture into vapour. Stay hydrated and limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat.
