When will we get relief from the scorching heat?
A Western Disturbance will affect the hills of North India from today i.e. 8 April. Along with this, a cyclonic system will be formed in western and northern Rajasthan. Also, an east-west trough will spread in the Indo-Gangetic plains. Due to this, rain, thunder and dust storms can be seen in the plains of North India between 9 and 12 April. This will provide relief from heat to some extent in Rajasthan. However, this heat may continue in Gujarat till the weekend and the temperature may remain above 40°C for the entire next week.
