The scorching sun is troubling people in both the plains and mountainous regions of Uttarakhand. Relief from the heat is unlikely for the next 48 hours. Temperatures are expected to rise by two to four degrees Celsius, but relief is expected after May 20th. Light rain is expected in the mountainous districts, which could provide relief from the heat. Meanwhile, the monsoon is expected to arrive in Uttarakhand between June 20th and 25th. The rising temperatures in the state have also increased the risk of forest fires.
Intense heat for next two days
The scorching heat in Uttarakhand for the past few days has made life difficult for people. The current situation is that people will have to endure even more intense heat for the next two days. Temperatures are expected to rise by two to four degrees Celsius over the next 48 hours.
If temperatures rise, then incidents of forest fires are also likely to increase. Although Uttarakhand hasn’t experienced extreme heat this year, whenever temperatures have risen, they have caused concern. The last week of April was particularly hot.
He explained that the Meteorological Center regularly provides the Forest Department with weather forecasts related to forest fires and temperature rises. Currently, temperatures are slightly above normal. Temperatures are expected to rise by two to four degrees Celsius in the next two to three days. Therefore, while people should take all precautions during this rising temperature, the Forest Department also needs to pay special attention to controlling forest fires.
