Heatwave conditions prevailed in many states of the country and temperatures have started rising in different parts of the country. The Meteorological Department has issued an orange alert for high temperatures in West Bengal, Bihar, and Andhra Pradesh. According to the Meteorological Department, heatwave conditions are likely in Sikkim, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh.

 

Possibility of relief in some parts of the country due to western disturbance

The Meteorological Department said in its forecast that there is a possibility of relief in some parts of the country due to the arrival of a western disturbance in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab. It may be known that heat wave-like conditions prevailed in Punjab and Haryana on Monday. However, similar conditions are expected to prevail on Tuesday as well. The Meteorological Department's alert came a day after 13 people died while sitting in the open for several hours at a Maharashtra government program.

 

Relief from the scorching heat is expected in the plains of northwestern India.

The Meteorological Department said that due to the Western Disturbance in the Western Himalayan region, there will be some respite from the scorching heat in the plains of North-Western India from Tuesday. Light rain is likely to occur at isolated places over Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and Rajasthan from April 18 to 20.

 

mercury crossed 43 degrees celsius in Sultanpur

The hottest places in India on Monday included Jaishankar Bhupalpally district in Telangana, which recorded a maximum temperature of 44.6 degrees Celsius, Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh at 43.4 degrees Celsius, and Supaul in Bihar at 42.4 degrees Celsius. Prayagraj, Jhansi, Kanpur, and Agra in UP, Patna and East Champaran in Bihar, and Bathinda in Punjab recorded temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius.

 

Eastern states need to protect themselves from heat

Director General of the Meteorological Department M Mohapatra said that when the winds blow from the direction of the Bay of Bengal, there are many times cloud cover which brings down the temperature in the eastern states. He further explained that warm, dry winds from the northwest are blowing over eastern India where the humidity level is relatively high due to their location. Hence the people of eastern states need to take adequate heat protection measures.
