Northern India, including the capital Delhi, was hit by a severe heatwave over the weekend, with temperatures reaching over 45 degrees Celsius.

On Sunday, Delhi’s Najafgarh district recorded a temperature of 47.8 degrees Celsius, the highest in the country this season.

The Bureau of Meteorology has announced that the heat is likely to continue this week.

India is holding a general election, the results of which are expected to be announced on June 4th, and the heat is on.

Summer in India lasts from March to September and is usually hot and humid.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the country is likely to experience a longer and more intense heatwave this year.

On Saturday, temperatures crossed 45 degrees Celsius in 10 places in the National Capital Region (NCR), including Delhi and some districts of adjoining Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan.

The IMD has predicted that the maximum temperature in Delhi and other northern cities is likely to remain around 45-46 degrees Celsius on Monday and Tuesday.

It also predicted fresh heat waves to persist in parts of western and central India over the next few days.

Many states in India, reeling from a heat wave, will also go to polls this week.

Millions of voters will cast their ballots in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar on Monday, while voting in Delhi will take place on May 25.

The election will be held in seven stages from April 19th to June 1st.

India’s election authorities have extended the voting period and urged people to protect themselves from the heat when going to the polls.

Some people use air conditioners or water coolers to stay cool, but some people, especially in remote towns, use their own methods, such as keeping water cool in earthen jugs or drinking drinks made from raw mango pulp. Some people are devising ways to cope with the heat. To prevent heatstroke.
