According to AccuWeather.com meteorologists, a trough will weaken the ridge responsible for the recent hot weather across the region, allowing at least some cooling to occur Friday through the weekend.
However, meteorologists foresee the ridge rebuilding, bringing back highs in
the 120s F (50s C) by the middle of next week.
Jacobabad, Pakistan recorded a high temperature of 124 F (51 C)
Thursday.
Delhi, India reached 113 F (45.2 C) Wednesday, which is the hottest
temperature recorded there in four years.
Schools were shut down in Haryana, India. Several deaths in the last two
weeks have been blamed on the heat.
