However, the forecast indicates a shift starting April 28, with partly cloudy skies accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and light rainfall over the next few days. The maximum temperature is expected to drop to around 39 degrees Celsius on April 28 and further decline to 36-37 degrees Celsius by April 30. Meanwhile, minimum temperatures are likely to hover between 21 degrees Celsius and 23 degrees Celsius.
Impact of the Weather Change
Meteorological officials say that this spell of rain and cloud cover will provide temporary respite from the ongoing heatwave conditions, which have seen temperatures rise more than 3 degrees Celsius above normal in Haryana.
