Delhi Records 45C as Heatwave Grips Northern States, Disrupting Daily Life
Delhi experienced a peak temperature of 45C this week, as a persistent heatwave continues to affect large swathes of northern India. The extreme heat is causing considerable disruption, making outdoor activities and essential work increasingly difficult for residents.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued advisories, cautioning against prolonged exposure to the sun and urging hydration. Public health officials are concerned about the potential for heatstroke and other related illnesses, particularly among vulnerable populations.
This heatwave follows a pattern of increasingly severe and frequent extreme weather events in the region. The economic impact is also notable, with agricultural productivity and daily labour significantly hampered by the oppressive conditions.
