Prayagraj, April 24

(HS): Severe heatwave

conditions are expected to persist in the region over the coming week, with

maximum temperatures reaching 45–46°C. Rainfall is unlikely, and the atmosphere

will remain dry, leading to moisture stress and heat stress in crops. Farmers

are advised to irrigate lightly in the morning or evening and apply mulching to

their fields. The intense heat may cause flower drop and impact yields.

Provide shade, cool water,

and proper ventilation to protect animals from heatstroke. Avoid working in the

fields during the afternoon and exercise caution. This weather is critical for

crops, livestock, and the health of farmers, so take all necessary precautions.
