High temperatures in Delhi may move around the 40-degree mark on Wednesday and begin to rise later as humid east winds blow the western part of the region hot and dry. A new heat wave has been predicted in Delhi since Sunday, but northeast winds in the national capital under the influence of Cyclone Asani have protected the city from it. The heat wave is likely to start on Friday, according to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
