The intense heat wave tightened its grip over the state claming two lives in Jaipur on Monday. With the state boiling, Sriganganagar recorded a maximum temperature of 48.7 degrees Celsius. Pink City sizzled at 45 degrees Celsius, a minor dip of .8 degree from Sunday, when it recorded the second highest temperature in a decade in June. A rag picker and a sweeper fell prey to the scorching heat in the city. Meanwhile, the minimum temperature also shot up to 33.6 degrees Celsius, four degree above normal. While the scorching mercury brought life to a standstill in several parts of the state, the Met office doesn’t predict any immediate relief. “No significant change will be seen in the maximum temperature over the Northwest India during the next two-three days,” the Met said.
However, there was some respite in store for Southern Rajasthan which witnessed duststorm and thunderstorms on Sunday. At all other places in the state, the maximum temperature has remained nearly six degrees above normal. Thunderstorms or dust storms over the next few hours can check the upward march of the mercury, the Met said. It has predicted isolated duststorm or thunderstorm to hit parts of northwest India, but rules out the possibility of rain. According to the Meteorological office, the monsoon is likely to strengthen from June 25 onwards with formation of low pressure areas over the north Bay of Bengal. This may lead to increase in the rainfall over East and Central India. The east-west seasonal trough is likely to increase the thunderstorm activity over the Gangetic plains.
