LUDHIANA: The residents continued to grapple with scorching weather as the day temperature remained above 40°C on Monday. However, the Met department officials have given the residents some reason why to cheer. The Met department predicts weather disturbance in the next two days.
"On Tuesday and Wednesday, there are chances of light rainfall of about 10 mm. The showers will bring down the temperature," stated Surender Paul, director Met department Chandigarh.
According to the Met department, the day temperature in the town on Monday used to be recorded at 43.5 °C, which is three levels greater than commonplace. On Saturday, the day temperature in the town used to be best possible this season at 44.6 °C, which used to be equivalent to the day temperature on May 19, 2016, when the same used to be recorded best possible for May in the closing 5 years.
Even as the day temperature in town used to be higher than commonplace, it used to be less than other main towns of Punjab. The day temperature in Amritsar and Patiala were recorded at 43.6 °C and 43.7 °C. The minimal night temperature in Ludhiana used to be also on a higher aspect and used to be recorded at 26 °C, which is 2 levels greater than commonplace.
In the meantime, the Met department site predicts a steady lower in day temperature to 41°C until Wednesday. The Met department predicts night temperature to upward push to 28 °C until the same day.
The residents, meanwhile, are finding it hard to fight the recent stipulations prevailing in the town. "The hot weather is beyond our tolerance level. In fact, I haven't seen such heat wave in Ludhiana in the last many years. I have not moved out of my home during the day for the last three days. I try to do my business-related work early morning or during the evening hours," stated Manoj Kumar, a dealer from Civil Lines.
The students also are complaining about the warmth wave. "The heat is intolerable. A person can suffer sun stroke if he goes out unprotected during the day. I prefer to study in my air-conditioned room. I try not to venture out during the day," stated Jaspreet Singh, a student of BRS Nagar.
