The Prayagraj region is bracing for a significant rise in temperatures, with forecasts predicting daytime highs between 42°C and 45°C from June 8 to June 16. This heatwave is expected to create challenging conditions for residents, particularly during peak afternoon hours. According to Prof BN Mishra, a weather expert and former head of the geography department at Allahabad University, the southwest monsoon reached Kerala later than usual, on June 1, and is anticipated to move towards the northern plains by the third week of June. He emphasized the importance of taking precautions against the heat, as prolonged exposure to such high temperatures can adversely affect health. On Friday, temperatures reached approximately 39°C, with some cloud cover providing temporary relief. Additionally, pre-monsoon showers may occur in parts of the state, potentially alleviating the severe heat experienced in the previous month. Rainfall activity is also expected to increase across Maharashtra, Goa, and nearby regions, indicating the gradual onset of the monsoon season.
