Heatwave is a condition of air temperature that becomes fatal to the human body when exposed. It is defined based on the temperature thresholds over a region in terms of actual temperature or its departure from normal. The heat wave is considered if the maximum temperature of a station reaches at least 40 degrees Celsius or more for plains and at least 30 degrees Celsius or more for Hilly regions.
In another news, the residents might finally get a relief from the Bengaluru Heatwave as IMD has predicted sparse rain in Bengaluru and some other areas of Karnataka between April 17 and April 19, 2024.
