The plains of northern India are currently experiencing extreme heat. As the morning progresses, temperatures rise sharply, and a severe heatwave ensues. Residents are facing intense heat and scorching winds when stepping outside. According to the Meteorological Department, there is no immediate relief from the heatwave for the northern plains of India. The current situation is due to dry and hot winds coupled with clear skies, which have caused temperatures to soar, making conditions uncomfortable for people.
Today, June 15, heatwave conditions are expected in parts of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, western Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, and Bihar. Severe heatwave conditions are likely in the plains of West Bengal, eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand.
