Wednesday, 27 May 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"7\">As intense summer heatwaves grip large portions of central, northern, and northwestern India\u2014with temperatures in areas like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan soaring between 43\u00b0C and 47\u00b0C\u2014Prime Minister Narendra Modi has issued a heartfelt public appeal. Moving beyond basic weather warnings, the Prime Minister is calling on citizens to prioritize safety, family vigilance, and community compassion during this challenging weather period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"8\">The India Meteorological Department (IMD) indicates that while severe heatwave conditions remain dominant, a gradual abatement is expected toward the very end of May.
