In Madhya Pradesh, the Meteorological Department predicts an increase in the number of heatwave days from April to June. Certain areas, such as Gwalior-Chambal, are expected to experience extreme heat, with temperatures reaching as high as 46 degrees Celsius. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions, especially as the heatwave may persist for up to six days in April.

  1. Summer Forecast for Chhattisgarh

Chhattisgarh is also bracing for heightened temperatures, with the Meteorological Department warning of a three-degree Celsius increase in maximum temperatures over the next five days.

Taking Precautions Amidst Rising Temperatures

With the specter of severe heatwaves looming large, authorities and citizens alike must prioritize safety measures to mitigate the potential risks associated with prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Staying hydrated, avoiding direct sunlight during peak hours, and seeking shelter in well-ventilated spaces are some of the key recommendations to safeguard against heat-related illnesses. As the nation braces itself for a taxing summer ahead, compliance with these precautions becomes paramount in ensuring the well-being of individuals and communities amidst challenging weather conditions.
