The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued Red and Orange alerts for several regions, including Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, due to extreme heat conditions. Temperatures have soared above 45 degrees Celsius in many areas, with Banda, Uttar Pradesh, recording 48.2°C, making it the hottest place in India for three consecutive days. The IMD forecasts that these heatwave conditions will persist for at least another week across Northwest, Central, and East India. In response to the rising temperatures, the Lucknow Civil Hospital has set up a special cold room and heat stress ward to address increasing cases of heat-related illnesses. The IMD has also warned of high discomfort levels in Bihar, where temperatures exceed 40 degrees Celsius in several districts, leading to revised school timings. Similar conditions are reported in Maharashtra's Vidarbha region, where temperatures have reached 47.1°C. As the heatwave continues, health officials are urging residents to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak hours.
