Intense Heatwave Persists in Delhi, Max Temperature Reaches 42°C; Expected Light Rain and Dust Storm This Week
As the mercury continues to soar, health and weather officials are urging people to take extra precautions during the ongoing heatwave. With the city bracing for stronger pre-monsoon activity in the coming weeks, it's essential to stay informed and prepared.
Firstly, people are advised to avoid outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours to minimise exposure to the scorching sun. As the heatwave persists, it's crucial to stay hydrated. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) recommends using ORS, lemon water, buttermilk, and other fluids to help maintain your body's fluid balance and stay cool.
In addition, widespread rainfall is expected across southern and northeastern regions. However, this change in weather is not without its risks. The IMD has issued a warning for residents to stay alert during thunderstorms, which could potentially bring heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and lightning. To ensure safety, residents are encouraged to monitor weather updates and take necessary precautions.
During thunderstorms, it's important to avoid sheltering under trees and stay indoors. Unplugging electronic appliances is also advised to prevent potential electrical hazards. Furthermore, wearing light cotton clothes can help keep you cool and comfortable during these hot days.
Residents in Kerala should pay close attention to the weather forecasts, as the IMD has forecast the onset of the southwest monsoon over Kerala soon. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) in Pune are currently studying monsoon predictions for Kerala to provide more accurate and timely updates.
In summary, during this heatwave and the upcoming pre-monsoon season, it's crucial to stay informed, stay hydrated, and take necessary precautions to stay safe. By following these guidelines, we can all enjoy the changing weather while minimising the risks.
