Delhi is experiencing an extreme heatwave with temperatures soaring past 47.4 degrees Celsius (117 degrees Fahrenheit). The severe heat has prompted authorities to issue a red alert and order the closure of schools until June. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that the heatwave conditions will persist for the next five days. Various states in northern India, including Madhya Pradesh, are also affected by the intense heat, leading to early summer vacations for schools. Citizens are advised to stay hydrated, avoid direct sunlight, and follow first aid measures to combat heat stress. The heatwave began on May 18.
