India is facing a severe heatwave, with many states sweltering under extreme temperatures. Banda district in Uttar Pradesh has emerged as the hottest area, recording 47.6 degrees Celsius. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of heatwave conditions in several regions, including Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab, with temperatures expected to remain dangerously high. In Delhi, temperatures hovered around 45 degrees Celsius, with the Ridge weather station reporting 45.3 degrees Celsius. The IMD has issued a 'Red Colour Warning' for the next three days, indicating the need for immediate action. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has instructed officials to be vigilant regarding relief efforts. Other areas affected include Haryana, where Sirsa reached 45.8 degrees Celsius, and Punjab, where Faridkot recorded 45.9 degrees Celsius. The heatwave has raised health concerns, with the first heatstroke patient of the season reported in Delhi. The IMD attributes the extreme conditions to a lack of active weather systems and clear skies, leading to enhanced heating.
