The National Disaster Management Authority on Wednesday warned of heatwave to severe heatwave conditions across several Uttar Pradesh districts over the next 24 hours, including NCR regions adjoining Delhi. Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddh Nagar are among the districts likely to witness intense “loo” conditions, raising concerns over worsening heat stress across the National Capital Region. The fresh warning comes amid an ongoing spell of extreme temperatures in north India, with authorities advising people to avoid direct sun exposure and remain hydrated during peak daytime hours.
NCR On Alert
According to the NDMA alert, severe heatwave conditions are likely at many places in Aligarh, Bhadohi, Etah, Gautam Buddh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Hathras, Kanpur Nagar, Mainpuri, Mathura and Mirzapur during the next 24 hours.
The inclusion of Ghaziabad and Gautam Buddh Nagar is significant as both districts form a major part of the NCR region bordering Delhi. Officials have cautioned residents against stepping outdoors unnecessarily during afternoon hours when temperatures and hot winds are expected to peak.
The latest alert indicates that dry and scorching “loo” conditions are intensifying across western and central Uttar Pradesh.
