With a scorching temperature, the sky was largely clear throughout the day. However, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), though the mercury is expected to rise by one or two notches in the coming days, it is unlikely to touch 40 degrees Celsius “as there would be winds”.

The IMD has forecast a clear sky on Friday with the maximum and minimum temperatures expected to hover around 36 degrees Celsius and 21 degrees Celsius respectively.
