Especially in most areas of Rajasthan, in some districts of Southern Haryana, and at some places in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh, the temperature was recorded more than 43 degrees Celsius. This is 2-4 degrees Celsius more than the normal temperature. The Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday that the heat wave will start in eastern and central India from May 18. The department has issued an orange alert for Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Delhi.

According to the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of heavy rain in some areas of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal between May 17 and 21. Also, heavy rain is expected in Kerala on May 20. This rain will occur due to the effect of a cyclonic storm on the southern coast of Tamil Nadu. Along with rain, winds can also blow at a speed of 40-50 kilometers per hour. Also, heavy rain is expected in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Coastal Karnataka, South Interior Karnataka, and Kerala today. The southwest monsoon is advancing into the Andaman Sea.


 

Heatwave can prove dangerous to health

In India, when the maximum temperature in the plains reaches 40 degrees Celsius and the maximum temperature in the hilly areas reaches above 30 degrees Celsius, it is considered a heat wave condition. In this situation, many heat-related diseases can occur and in many cases, it can also be fatal. Heatwave conditions are especially dangerous for children, the elderly, and sick people. In case of heat wave or heat wave, there may be dehydration in the human body, which can lead to the problem of muscle strain. There may also be mild fever. Staying in sunlight for a long time can also cause dizziness and fainting. There may also be problems like weakness, headache, and vomiting. This is the reason why people are being advised to stay at home during the afternoon.
