The Indian capital region experienced a sharp rise in temperatures on August 29, 2026, prompting heat advisories for residents.
On August 29, 2026, the India Meteorological Department issued a heat‑wave alert for the Delhi‑NCR region, noting that temperatures are climbing well above the typical summer range.
The agency cautioned that prolonged exposure to such heat could pose health risks, especially for the elderly, children and outdoor workers, and urged people to stay hydrated, wear light clothing and limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
State authorities have asked schools, colleges and government offices to consider flexible timings or indoor classes to reduce heat‑related strain, while power utilities remain on standby to manage the expected surge in electricity demand for cooling.
The alert follows a series of hot days across northern India, and officials will continue to monitor weather patterns for any further escalation of heat conditions.
