Nagpur. 16 May

(HS): Heat wave continues in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha region, with temperature

hitting 46 degrees Celsius in Amravati and Wardha on Saturday. Akola registered

the highest temperature at 45.4 degrees, Yavatmal and Brahmapuri were sizzling at

45.2 degrees.

Rise in night

temperature in the region has made the life difficult for the people. The minimum

temperatures on Friday were between 27 and 30 degree Celsius. Nagpur was at

43.8 degrees due to cloudy weather and showers on Friday. Saturday evening is

also cloudy in Nagpur.

The public

health machinery is ready with arrangements to handle the heat stroke patients.

Frequent power failures, however, make the issue more serious.
