NEW DELHI : The northern and central India would possibly not see any respite from soaring mercury this week as the Met division on Wednesday anticipated the heat wave to proceed until May 27.
The IMD has also sounded a red-coded alert for Haryana, Rajasthan and west Uttar Pradesh until May 27.
It has also issued an amber-colour alert for east Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and the Vidharbha region of Maharashtra.
There are four kinds of coloration codes signifying the extent of caution -- inexperienced (because of this no action), yellow (situation to be watched), amber (government agencies to be prepared for severe weather) and crimson (action wanted through the agencies)
"Heat wave conditions are very likely to occur at many parts of west Rajasthan, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi, at some parts of West Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Punjab and East Rajasthan and at one or two pockets over north Gujarat region, Saurashtra, Kutch, East Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh," the IMD said in its forecast for day after today.
On the opposite hand, the IMD said that thunderstorm accompanied with gusty winds are very most likely at isolated puts over North Kerala, coastal Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karnataka, Lakshadweep, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and east Rajasthan.
With that, it also predicted "very likely" heavy rains at isolated puts of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya.
