By IANS,

New Delhi: Delhi is set for another sweltering day Saturday with the maximum temperature likely to hover around 40 degrees Celsius. While the city still eagerly awaits the monsoon, a thunderstorm is likely in some areas, a weather official said.

The capital recorded a minimum temperature of 30.5 degrees Saturday – three notches above normal for this time of the year, an India Meteorological Department (IMD) official said.

However, parts of the city could see a thunderstorm.

“The capital will have a partly clouded sky with the possibility of dust and thunderstorm in some parts,” the IMD official said.

Delhi recorded a minimum temperature of 27.7 degrees Friday and a maximum temperature of 39.4 degrees — both two notches above average.
