From North India to the southern states, the heat typically associated with May and June is already being felt in March, leaving everyone sweating profusely. The weather conditions in the northeastern states also appear to have undergone a significant shift.
In the plains, the intensifying glare of the sun has caused people to break into a sweat, leading to discomfort for everyone. A possibility of deteriorating weather conditions has been forecast for several parts of Delhi-NCR, Haryana, and Rajasthan.
