NEW DELHI: The heat is on, and it's only going to get worse. Delhi sweltered under a maximum temperature of 43.1 degrees Celsius on Thursday, the highest for the season. Oppressively hot winds forced people indoors, leaving shopping centres wearing a deserted look. Not surprisingly, power demand shot up, peaking at 4,823 MW, the highest so far this year.
Worse, the Met office has forecast a further rise over the next few days. "On Friday, the maximum temperature is likely to be 45 degrees Celsius," said a senior Met official. The hot spell is expected to continue till next Tuesday.
