The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a severe heatwave warning for northwest, central, and east India, predicting these conditions to persist for the next 6-7 days. Regions under red and orange alerts are at heightened risk for heat-related illnesses, particularly affecting vulnerable populations like children, senior citizens, and outdoor workers. Extreme heat can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, and life-threatening heat stroke, with symptoms including dizziness, nausea, and confusion. To mitigate risks, health experts advise limiting outdoor activities during peak hours between 11 AM and 4 PM, staying hydrated by drinking water frequently, and wearing light, breathable clothing. It is also recommended to consume lighter meals rich in fruits and vegetables to avoid increasing body heat. Immediate medical assistance is crucial for anyone displaying severe symptoms of heat-related illnesses. The IMD emphasizes that prevention is key, urging individuals to stay hydrated and recognize early warning signs to safeguard against serious health impacts during this heatwave.
