Chandigarh daytime temperature nearing 30°C as heat builds up

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the next few days are unlikely to see any rain in the region. Although there may be some partly cloudy weather, especially at night, which could cause temperatures to increase.

Anticipated rise in maximum temperature

After hitting a high of 28.2°C on Thursday, the maximum temperature is predicted to climb further. It's expected to reach the 30°C mark early next week, possibly even surpassing it by Tuesday. The recent Western Disturbance (WD) that brought cloudy weather and slight rainfall has passed, along with the cold winds from the neighboring hills. This indicates a steady increase in temperatures with no immediate rainfall expected.
