On the other hand, the coming week will witness a further rise in temperatures, soaring to 42 degrees Celsius.
IMD Warns Against Western Disturbance
At the same time, the Met Body has issued a warning for a fresh Western Disturbance, set to impact the Western Himalayan Region from 8th April. Residents might experience temporary relief under its influence, however, the overall weather conditions will continue to remain hot. This means the increasing temperatures in Delhi/NCR are unlikely to ease any time soon.
Cover Yourself, Stay Hydrated!
Rising temperatures may cause heat-related conditions like heatstroke, dehydration, and heat exhaustion. Therefore, residents must stay hydrated and cover themselves properly when outdoors, particularly during the daytime. Don’t forget to include water-rich fruits and vegetables such as watermelon, cucumber, etc, in your diet. Elderly people, children, and people with chronic illness should especially take necessary precautions as they are at higher risk.
