IMD forecasts gradual decline in heatwave in north

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast that the prevailing heatwave conditions mainly in north and central India are likely to reduce gradually from Thursday (May 30). The IMD's prediction came on a day when Delhi recorded the season's highest-ever temperature at 52.3 degrees Celsius. The national capital and its peripherals, however, received drizzle in the evening, bringing respite from the sweltering temperatures.
