IMD issues heatwave warning for these four states
Hindustan TimesThe India Meteorological Department on Thursday issued a heatwave warning for four states - West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Bihar - over the next three to four days. Last week, the weather department had predicted heatwave conditions over parts of northwest and east India on some days between April 13 and 19. The IMD said that the maximum temperatures in several parts of the western Himalayan region and northeast India, West Bengal, Sikkim, Odisha, coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala are three to five notches above normal, reported PTI. "Now, temperatures are near normal but since dry conditions are expected to continue, heat will rise and a heatwave may set in over isolated parts of northwest and east India after a week,” IMD scientist Naresh Kumar had said.
