On Tuesday, Gurgaon had recorded a minimum of 17.4°C and maximum of 39°C.The heat has already intensified in parts of the state, with the highest maximum of 40.5°C recorded at Rohtak and Faridabad on Wednesday. The average minimum temperature rose by around 1°C, with the lowest minimum at 15.4°C in Karnal, while Narnaul (22.5°C) and Bhiwani (23°C) reported warmer nights. Day temperatures are also climbing, with the state recording an average rise of 0.8°C in maximum temperatures, which were 2.9°C above normal.The latest forecast from IMD’s Chandigarh centre indicates that dry weather is likely to prevail across Haryana over the next few days, with no immediate rainfall activity expected.At the same time, temperatures are set to climb further. IMD has projected a gradual rise of 3–4°C in maximum temperatures over the next four days, and a total increase of 4–5°C over the next five days, with no significant change thereafter.Meteorological conditions show a western disturbance currently positioned over the Mediterranean region, with a fresh, feeble system expected to influence the western Himalayan region from the night of April 16. However, its impact over Haryana is likely to remain limited, restricting weather activity to largely dry conditions.Officials said the rising night temperatures combined with increasing daytime heat signal the onset of more intense summer conditions in the region.“Gurgaon and the rest of Haryana are expected to see clear to partly cloudy skies with a steady rise in temperatures, with no major weather alerts issued for the coming days,” said an IMD official.
