Delhi is facing a peak temperature of around 42°C this week, with June 8 marking the hottest point of the stretch. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast shows clear skies across the capital, Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad for the next several days. This heat wave builds the energy for a shift later in the week.
High temperatures with no cloud cover mean the surface heating is efficient. That setup – intense heat over a landmass with approaching moisture – creates the conditions for thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms and Rain Expected From June 11
The IMD predicts thunderstorms and light rain to begin from June 11. Gusty winds will accompany the rain. That timing is standard for pre-monsoon convection: the heat builds, then an upper-level disturbance or inflow from the Bay of Bengal triggers the breakdown.
Noida, Gurugram, and Ghaziabad will follow the same pattern. The temperature drop after midweek will be significant, not marginal. The arrival of gusty winds and rain will cut the maximum by several degrees, giving relief after the stretch of heat.
