Vast swathes of the country reeled under the heatwave which has claimed more than 150 lives in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana even as the scorching sun today continued to drive the mercury upwards with Delhi recording its hottest day of this season.

As many as 73 persons died in Telangana and 80 deaths were recorded in Andhra Pradesh due to severe heatwave conditions.

But as Delhiites struggled to cope with the excruciating heat as the maximum today hit this summer's highest at 44.5 degrees Celsius, five notches above the normal, the weatherman hinted at the likelihood of some relief in the form of dust storms or thunderstorms tomorrow across northern India.
