Sudden showers in the last few days due to Cyclone Yaas gave relief but heat wave conditions witnessed in the last two days which led to a rise in day temperatures in Visakhapatnam are making people stay indoors, mostly under air conditioners.
Visakhapatnam, which recorded its highest day temperature of 42 degrees Celsius two days ago, has been witnessing similar and rising temperatures throughout the week. According to the weather officials, the hot conditions prevailing are likely to continue for another three days. On Friday, of all districts in Andhra Pradesh, Visakhapatnam (Airport) recorded the highest temperature of 43 Degrees Celsius, while Vizag (Waltair) recorded 40.8 Degrees Celsius.
As per the reports by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), heat wave conditions are to prevail over districts of Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam and Vizianagaram. While People are not allowed to move out during lockdown hours, officials advised people to stay indoors during morning hours as well. With hot conditions prevailing for two days, it is also observed that there are hot winds prevailing outside, due to which people have shut the doors and windows even in the morning hours.
