India Enters Warm Phase, Heatwave Warning Issued

India is entering a warmer phase, and temperatures are rising across many regions. Several areas, especially in the northwest, are already feeling the heat, making it uncomfortable for residents.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that maximum temperatures in Northwest India will remain 3 to 5 degrees Celsius above normal for most of this week. This means cities and towns in states like Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi could experience hotter days than usual for this time of year.

For Thursday, February 26, the IMD forecasts mostly dry weather in the plains. No major rainfall is expected, so the heat could feel stronger in areas with direct sunlight.

The IMD has issued advice for people to stay safe during the heatwave conditions. They recommend:

Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Avoiding outdoor activities during peak sunlight hours.

Using protective clothing, hats, or umbrellas if going outside.

Keeping children and elderly people in cooler or shaded areas.

Experts warn that the warmer temperatures could affect daily routines, agriculture, and outdoor work. People are encouraged to take precautions, especially in areas where the heat may be intense.

As the week progresses, residents should stay updated with local weather reports and follow safety tips from authorities to avoid heat-related health issues.
