Wind coming from Pakistan-Afghanistan is making India hot, extreme heat will trouble the country for a week more

The main reason for rising temperatures in North-West India is the weakening of El Nino in the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, the hot air coming towards India from Pakistan and Afghanistan has made a big difference. The Meteorological Department (IMD) believes that a large part of North India may have to face extreme heat for a week. A continuous increase in temperature can be seen.

On Sunday also, the maximum temperature was recorded more than 45 degrees in many parts of Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. In some places, it even went above 47 degrees. Due to the absence of pre-monsoon conditions, there is no hope of respite from the heat at present. This time even Madhya Pradesh and Bihar have not remained untouched by the heat wave.

A red alert has been issued by IMD for Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi, and Western Uttar Pradesh. The remaining portions of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar are under a yellow alert. According to an IMD study on the causes of North India's extreme heat, the Sun is fully direct in North India in May. At this time, the wind from Pakistan also shifts to the north of India. As a result, the temperature rises quickly.
