Rising Heat and Strong Winds Expected

The IMD has issued a fresh alert as temperatures begin to rise across several parts of the country.

Many regions, including central and western parts of the country, are already witnessing temperatures above 40°C, with further increase expected in the coming days.

Strong surface winds and clear skies are contributing to the rapid rise in mercury levels.

Heatwave conditions are likely in parts of Odisha, Gujarat, and Vidarbha, while hot and humid weather may affect coastal areas.

Residents are advised to take precautions as temperatures may rise by 4–6°C in the next few days, marking the beginning of an intense summer phase across India.
