In Uttarakhand these days, the scorching heat is going on and the situation is not taking the name of normal. The Meteorological Department has once again issued an alert of ‘Heatwave’ i.e. Lu for the plains of the state. This simply means that in the coming days, mercury will climb up in the plains, which will increase the problems of the people.
Which cities will have more heat?
The major plains of Uttarakhand, including the capital Dehradun, will be in the grip of scorching heat. These include Haridwar, Udham Singh Nagar, and the plains of Nainital. Day temperatures in these areas will be much higher than normal.
-
Weather in Dehradun: The minimum temperature in Dehradun is likely to reach around 22 ° C and the maximum temperature is expected to reach 37 ° C, which is significantly above normal.
-
Other hot cities: Cities like Haridwar, Roorkee, Pantnagar and Haldwani will also feel the scorching heat and there is a possibility of heat stroke.
Hope of mild relief on the mountains:
However, while the plains will flourish on the one hand, on the other hand there is a possibility of splashing with light drizzle or thunder in some high areas of the mountains. It can provide some relief to the mountains, but the plains will still have to wait for rain.
What to do to avoid heat?
The Meteorological Department has given some important suggestions to the common people to avoid this scorching heat:
-
Avoid getting out in the sun, especially between 12 noon and 4 pm.
-
If necessary, wear light clothes and keep the head covered.
-
Eat liquids like water, juice, lassi and buttermilk in sufficient amounts so that there is no lack of water in the body.
-
Take special care of young children and the elderly, as they are more sensitive to heat.
Overall, Uttarakhand does not seem to get relief from the heat soon. In such a situation, everyone is advised to take precautions and to follow the instructions of the Meteorological Department.
