The India Meteorological Department (IMD) Bhopal has issued a severe heatwave warning for various districts in Madhya Pradesh, forecasting dangerously high temperatures from May 23 to May 27. The warning highlights that intense heat conditions will particularly affect northern, eastern, and central regions. Districts such as Satna, Panna, Chhatarpur, and Tikamgarh are expected to experience severe heatwave conditions, with alerts also issued for Bhopal, Vidisha, Raisen, and Gwalior among others. Residents are urged to take precautions against heat-related illnesses, including staying hydrated and avoiding outdoor activities during peak hours. Farmers are advised to ensure soil moisture and provide adequate shade for livestock.
