The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for Delhi-NCR for the next three days as temperatures are expected to soar further. The mercury may touch 45°C on Tuesday, exacerbating already harsh summer conditions across the region.

The alert warns residents of severe heatwave conditions and advises people to stay indoors during peak afternoon hours, remain hydrated, and avoid strenuous activities outdoors.

According to India Today (via Dailyhunt), the IMD has predicted clear skies and strong, dry winds for the coming days, which may further intensify discomfort and pose health risks, especially for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and outdoor workers.

What Does Orange Alert Mean?

An orange alert signifies moderate to severe weather conditions that may pose a threat to life and property. It calls for preparedness and action from local authorities and the public.

Key IMD Advisory:

Limit exposure to direct sunlight.

Drink plenty of water even if not thirsty.

Use hats, umbrellas, and sunscreen when outside.

Check on elderly family members and neighbors.

Delhi has already been experiencing above-normal temperatures, and the upcoming days are likely to test endurance further. Residents are urged to follow all safety guidelines and track updates from official weather channels. 

The Delhi government has activated its heatwave action plan, setting up cooling centers across the city where people can find relief from the soaring temperatures. Public awareness campaigns are also underway to educate residents about the symptoms of heat-related illnesses and preventive measures.

Schools and outdoor events have been advised to reschedule activities to early morning or late evening hours to protect children and participants from the intense heat. Road workers and laborers are being encouraged to take frequent breaks and stay hydrated.

With the heatwave expected to persist, meteorologists continue to monitor the situation closely. Citizens are advised to stay informed, follow official guidelines, and take all necessary precautions to stay safe during this challenging period.
