New Delhi: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an ‘orange warning’ for heat wave for Odisha and four other States – Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
The IMD said that heat wave conditions are expected to prevail over Northwest and Central India during the next five days and over east India during the next three days and abate thereafter.
It will take some more days to gain any relief from the scorching heat and soaring temperatures that have gripped a large part of the country, the IMD predicts.
Severely heatwave conditions are expected in isolated pockets over Punjab, Delhi, Haryana-Chandigarh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Vidarbha, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Chattisgarh, interior Odisha, interior Gangetic West Bengal and northern parts of Gujarat, it added.
