The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is investigating reports of unprecedented high temperatures in Delhi and Nagpur, which are suspected to be due to faulty sensors. On May 29, a temperature of 52.9°C was reported in Delhi's Mungeshpur, raising concerns about the accuracy of the reading. Similarly, on May 30, Nagpur's automatic weather stations recorded temperatures of 56°C and 54°C, which were later attributed to sensor malfunctions. The IMD has confirmed that these readings were erroneous and is working to ensure the accuracy of its temperature sensors amidst the ongoing heatwave.
