Heat wave to continue in Madhya Pradesh for 2-3 days: IMD

The heat wave conditions will continue in most parts of Madhya Pradesh for at least two to three days due to the hot air coming from Rajasthan, the Met Department said here.
"The hot and dry air coming from Rajasthan has resulted in heat wave conditions in Madhya Pradesh. This situation may continue to prevail for at least another two or three days. Dust storms are also likely in some areas," India Meteorological Department (IMD) Bhopal Centre's meteorologist Dr G D Mishra told PTI.
"Severe heat wave" was likely in several districts including Gwalior, Datia, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur, Ratlam, Khandwa, Khargone and Damoh for the next two or three days, Dr Mishra said.

At least six districts saw maximum temperatures of around 43 degrees Celsius yesterday.

This will be effective from April 1. However, examinations would be held according to the previously declared schedules, the orders issued by Bhopal and Indore district collectors said.
