National News: North India is currently reeling under an intense heatwave. Temperatures have crossed 45 degrees Celsius in many parts of Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Jammu and Kashmir. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for heatwave conditions for the fourth consecutive day and urged citizens to take necessary precautions
The maximum temperature in Delhi was recorded at 43.8 ° C on Tuesday, while it reached 45.5 ° C in the Lodhi Road and Ridge areas. IMD senior scientist Dr. Naresh Kumar said that there is no hope of relief till June 12. Light rain and a drop in temperature are possible after June 12 due to a Western Disturbance.
Situation worse in Rajasthan and Punjab too
On Tuesday, Ganganagar in Rajasthan recorded a scorching temperature of 47.4 degrees Celsius, the highest in the state. At the same time, the heatwave is at its peak in Bathinda, Punjab, with a temperature of 47.6 degrees. Cities such as Jaipur, Kota, Bikaner, and Churu recorded blistering temperatures ranging between 44 and 46 degrees Celsius.
Sirsa and Rohtak in Haryana also recorded temperatures near 46°C. Chandigarh recorded the highest ever temperature of 43.9°C.
Jammu and Kashmir is also not spared
Heat has broken records even in Jammu and Kashmir, which is generally considered cold. The mercury has crossed 45°C in Jammu. Special arrangements have been made to cool the animals in Jamboo Zoo, such as water fountains and cooling ponds. The temperature in Srinagar is also touching 34°C, which has increased the demand for ACs and coolers in the Kashmir Valley.
Relief when and how?
According to the IMD, some relief is expected from June 12. Thunderstorms and light rain between June 13 and 15 may cause a drop in temperature. “No heatwave conditions” have been predicted for the coming days, offering a brief respite from the extreme temperatures. At present, the administration has advised people to avoid leaving the house between 11 am and 4 pm.
