The weather office said that the maximum temperature was expected to rise by two degrees Celsius over most parts of northwest and central India.
Temperatures have remained on the higher side in parts of northwest and central India due to absence of thunderstorms induced by western disturbance or extra-tropical weather systems during the pre-monsoon months of March-May.
Northwest India experienced the season’s first thunderstorm on May 24, which brought down the mercury across the region.
Meanwhile, the weather office has forecast increase in rainfall activity over southern peninsula from June 7 onwards.
It has also forecast rains in northeast India and sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim during the next five days.
