Although Delhi is under polling today, but certainly the heat also has been scorching too.

According to the India Meteorological Department's Regional Centre in Delhi, while there may be some heatwave conditions in isolated places of Delhi, there are no red alerts for a severe heatwave anytime soon.

Still, everybody should remain cautious when going out, especially since today is also the voting day for the 6th Phase of Lok Sabha Elections 2024.

According to the IMD report, today, 25 May, there will be heatwave conditions in some isolated regions, but the highest temperature for today will only be 43°C. Still, there is also a prediction of a warm night, so those who plan to go vote later in the evening may want to be wary and carry a lot of water.

Today's heat is tolerable for the general public, but may cause issues for vulnerable individuals like infants, the elderly, and people with chronic diseases. In order to combat the heat while going to a polling booth, IMD gave the following advice:

• Avoid heat exposure.

• Wear lightweight, light coloured, loose, cotton clothes.

• Cover your head: Use a cloth, hat or Umbrella.

In certain isolated regions, though, the weather department is concerned that those who are exposed to the sun for too long may develop heat illness symptoms. In order to combat this, they suggested the following.
