A heatwave affects large parts of north and central India, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) reporting severe to intense conditions in multiple states. NDTV and Mint both cite IMD updates indicating that heatwave to severe heatwave conditions prevail across regions including Haryana, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Madhya Pradesh.
Mint reports that Uttar Pradesh’s Banda records the highest temperature of the season in the country, reaching about 48°C. NDTV similarly highlights Banda as the hottest location, at 47.6°C. Both outlets frame these readings within IMD’s broader warnings that severe heatwave conditions are expected to persist in the affected areas.
Together, the reports emphasize widespread heat across several major north and central districts and the IMD’s continued issuance of heat-related advisories for the public. The accounts do not mention rainfall relief or significant changes in weather at the time of reporting.
