The recent reading from India Meteorological Department (IMD) of 52.9 degrees Celsius temperature at Delhi’s Mungeshpur weather station on May 29 was the result of a “malfunctioning of the sensor”.
Experts from the IMD have found that the automatic weather station (AWS) sensor at Mungeshpur was reporting temperatures “about 3 degrees Celsius higher than the maximum temperature reported by the standard instrument.”
Thunder and rain clouds are moving towards Delhi and NCR from the Haryana side, Skymet VP Meteorology and Climate Change tweeted. "Get ready for a dust storm thunderstorm and rain," the official wrote.
