Severe heat wave grips Gorakhpur, mercury crosses 40 degrees Celsius; dry weather adds to discomfort:In Gorakhpur, the temperature reached 39 degrees in April itself.

News Topical, Digital Desk : The heat has already begun to show its fierceness in mid-April. Temperatures are steadily rising, and the weather clearly indicates that the heat will only increase in the coming days.

On Thursday, the maximum temperature was recorded at 39 degrees Celsius, one degree above normal. The minimum temperature also reached 22.3 degrees Celsius, providing no relief from the heat even at night. The heat in April itself has given a glimpse of the possible conditions in May and June.

The lack of moisture in the atmosphere has further exacerbated the situation. The humidity level has dropped to 15 percent, making the atmosphere completely dry. Consequently, temperatures are felt hotter than they actually are. The intense sun and hot winds have begun to disrupt daytime life, disrupting traffic on the roads during the afternoon.

According to meteorologist Kailash Pandey, temperatures are forecast to exceed 40 degrees Celsius in the third week of April. Maximum temperatures are expected to hover around 40 degrees Celsius for the next three to four days, while minimum temperatures could rise to 25 degrees Celsius.

According to meteorologists, there is no chance of rain at this time, which will lead to continued dryness and intensify the heat. This could also impact health. We need to be prepared for the heat. Experts advise people to avoid the intense midday sun, drink plenty of water, wear light and cotton clothing, and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities.
