Delhi is grappling with an unprecedented heatwave, marking its warmest night in 14 years with a minimum temperature of 31.9 degrees Celsius recorded on May 21. This figure surpasses the previous record of 32.5 degrees Celsius set on May 26, 2012. The heatwave has left residents fatigued, with daytime temperatures nearing 45 degrees Celsius across the National Capital Region (NCR). The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts that these extreme conditions will persist until at least May 26. The IMD has issued a widespread orange alert for several regions, including Delhi-NCR, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, warning of severe weather that could disrupt daily life and increase the risk of heat-related illnesses. Additionally, a red alert has been issued in parts of East Uttar Pradesh and East Madhya Pradesh, mandating immediate precautions to protect human life. The relentless heat has pushed Delhi's power demand to exceed 7,700 MW, straining the electricity grid and raising concerns about potential power cuts. Health experts advise vulnerable populations to stay hydrated and avoid outdoor activities during peak sun hours.
