Pune is getting ready for a very hot heatwave in March. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has given a warning about high temperatures that might reach 40 degrees Celsius or even more. This news comes after January and February were already warmer than usual, with temperatures going above 34-38 degrees Celsius.
The IMD says that there will be more days of heatwave in the coming weeks, and high humidity and strong winds will make it feel even hotter. This can be dangerous for our health if we stay in the heat for too long.
Heatwave alert: High temperatures, humidity, and winds can be hazardous to health. Stay safe and limit prolonged exposure to the scorching heat.
Because of this warning, it's very important for everyone in Pune to take care of themselves during the heat. You should drink enough water and follow some simple tips to stay safe from the heat. Early in March, the temperatures are expected to be around 35-36 degrees Celsius.
There might be a little break from the heat on March 5-6, but don't get too relaxed because the hot weather will come back.
To stay safe in the heat, you should avoid being outside when the sun is really strong, especially between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Wear light and loose clothes so that air can flow easily around your body.
It's also very important to drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don't feel thirsty, because you can get dehydrated quickly in hot weather.
Remember to find shade whenever you can and take breaks if you're outside. Staying cool and hydrated will help you feel better and stay healthy during this heatwave.
Let's all take care of ourselves and each other during this hot time!
