Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 24 (ANI): The Director of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) Mumbai Sunil Kamble on Wednesday said that in the coming two to three days we are expecting temperatures between 34 to 36 degrees Celsius and from Saturday we are expecting that temperature will go around 38 degrees Celsius and it will continue for two-three days.
He further stated, "Then again there will be a drop in temperature... We are expecting some thunderstorm activities because of the wind discontinuity in the coming two to three days in some parts..."
Kamble advised, "Avoid sun exposure from 10 am to 4 pm. Remain hydrated and carry water bottles. You must approach the doctor if you feel discomfort."
Earlier on Tuesday, the disaster management authorities of Tripura issued a public advisory to mitigate the effects of the hot and humid weather, which is supposed to continue for some days.
The public in general has been asked to avoid going out in the blazing sun, make changes in their diet, and avoid alcoholic and carbonated beverages with high caffeine content as they cause dehydration in the body. During this time, it is recommended to consume homemade drinks such as lassi, lemon water, and fruits that are high in water content.
Officials in the revenue department said that the advisory is issued for the next seven days. If the situation persists, a revised advisory will follow.
According to the press statement, the government of Tripura has already declared the heat wave, sunstroke and sunburn to be state-specific disasters in Tripura.
Providing a set of guidelines to follow, the statement added that for the management of the ensuing hot and humid weather, all district disaster management authorities have been advised to conduct extensive awareness through different media, update weather conditions for the general public, provide safe drinking water and shades at public and strategic places, extend medical support and make other necessary provisions for the vulnerable communities in the districts.
