Uttar Pradesh, India, is grappling with an intense heatwave, with 60 districts placed under a red alert as temperatures soared above 45 degrees Celsius in several locations. The heatwave has already claimed a life; a 45-year-old man in Kanpur reportedly died from heatstroke while riding his motorcycle. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued urgent advisories urging people to avoid outdoor activities during peak hours, stay hydrated, and be aware of heat-related symptoms. Prayagraj recorded the highest temperature in the country at 45.2 degrees Celsius, while other cities like Varanasi and Agra also faced extreme heat. To mitigate the impact, district administrations have banned outdoor labor from noon to 4 PM and mandated employers to provide adequate hydration and shaded areas. Wildlife is also suffering, with zoos implementing cooling measures for animals. Some relief is expected from April 26, when a western disturbance may bring light showers, potentially lowering temperatures by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius.
