**Headline: Delhi Faces Possible Respite from Scorching Heat as Weather Set to Change**

**New Delhi:** After days of relentless heatwave conditions, the residents of Delhi are likely to experience some relief as the weather is expected to change later today. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted the possibility of light rain or thundershowers accompanied by strong winds blowing at speeds of 40-60 kmph this evening or night. The maximum temperature is expected to hover between 43-45 degrees Celsius today.

The IMD forecasts a gradual easing of the heatwave from June 13th, with the current “Red Alert” likely to be downgraded to an “Orange Alert”. Further relief is anticipated between June 14th and 17th, with temperatures expected to fall to between 37-42 degrees Celsius. Light to moderate rainfall and strong winds are also expected during this period.

“The intense heatwave is expected to persist until Thursday,” stated Dr. Naresh Kumar, a senior scientist at the IMD. “A Western Disturbance is likely to affect Northwest India starting on the night of June 13th, which may bring light rain and thundershowers to Delhi.”

Delhi has been grappling with severe heatwave conditions in recent days, with temperatures soaring to 45 degrees Celsius. Yesterday, the maximum temperature in Delhi ranged from 40.9 degrees Celsius to 45.0 degrees Celsius, with Ayanagar recording the highest temperature at 45.0 degrees Celsius. These temperatures are three to four degrees Celsius above normal, prompting the IMD to issue a “Red Alert” for the city.

The “Red Alert” is the highest level of warning, urging residents to take immediate action, including staying hydrated, avoiding direct sunlight, and minimizing outdoor activities during the afternoon hours.
