Is a brief respite from heat likely?
There is likely to be strong winds, aided by a western disturbance over west Himalayas, over northwest India in the next few days accompanied by some rains, which may bring some relief from the soaring heatwave. In the longer run, no major change in maximum temperatures is likely in next few days, but the mercury may rise by 3-4°C by the weekend. There may be a gradual rise in maximum temperatures by 2-3°C in most parts of central India in the next five days
