Mercury touched 48 degrees Celsius in Delhi's Palam area today - creating a record high for the national capital in June -- as north India struggles under an unrelenting heat wave.  The temperature, however, was lower at Safdarjung, roughly 14 km away.  The temperature recorded there was 45.6 degrees Celsius. "It was 48 degrees at Palam today, an all-time high. The earlier high was 47.8 degrees Celsius recorded on June 9, 2014,".

The all-time record for Delhi is that of 48.4 degrees Celsius, recorded on May 26, 1998. In May 2016, Phalodi in Rajasthan recorded India's highest-ever temperature of 51 Celsius (123.8 Fahrenheit).

The temperature of 48 and above has been mostly recorded in Rajasthan this summer -- Churu has been the hottest place for days.
