New and strict alert from IMD: Red Alert: ‘Red Alert’ for the next 3 days has been issued for parts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Eastern Madhya Pradesh and Vidarbha. Orange Alert: ‘Orange Alert’ will continue for the next 6 to 7 days for Delhi-NCR, Punjab, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh, entire Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. That means the temperature in Delhi-NCR will remain around 45 degrees for the whole week. Signs of slight relief from Western Disturbance on the mountains: Meteorologist Naresh Kumar, while giving a relief news, said that the heat wave which was going on in the entire Himalayan region for the past few days, may see a slight change from today. A new ‘Western Disturbance’ has become active in the mountains, due to which the effect of heat wave is expected to reduce in Jammu and Kashmir from today. However, the situation may remain a little hot in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand even today, but the temperature there will also drop in the next two days. On the contrary, the plain areas (Delhi, UP, Haryana) will have to bear the torture of this severe heat and ‘hot nights’ for the next one week. Doctors have advised all citizens not to go out in the afternoon without essential work and to keep the body fully hydrated.
