NAGPUR, Apr 27: Akola in Maharashtra has recorded the highest temperature in the country at 46.9\u00b0C, while Nagpur and several other parts of Vidarbha reeled under a severe heat wave, MeT officials said on Monday.
\nHeat wave conditions are expected to persist across parts of the state\u2019s Vidarbha region till Tuesday, as maximum temperatures may reach 45 to 46 degrees Celsius and touch 47 degrees Celsius at isolated locations, they said.
\nOn Sunday, Akola recorded 46.9 degrees Celsius, the highest temperature in the country, followed by Amravati at 46.8 degrees Celsius, according to the India Meteorological Department\u2019s Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Nagpur.
\nWardha sizzled at 46.4 degrees Celsius, Yavatmal logged 46 degrees Celsius, Nagpur scorched at 45.4 degrees Celsius, while Chandrapur recorded 45 degrees Celsius, as per the data.
\nAkola, Amravati, Wardha, Yavatmal, Chandrapur and Nagpur experienced heat wave conditions, while several other districts reported above-normal temperatures, RMC scientist Dr Praveen Kumar said.
\nThe prevailing above-normal and persistently high temperatures over Vidarbha can be attributed to an anticyclonic circulation over Maharashtra and adjoining areas. At the same time, hot and dry northwesterly winds have been continuously affecting the region, he said.
\nIn addition, weak western disturbances and the absence of moisture incursion or any significant weather systems have contributed to the intensification of heat over the region, the official said.
\nAs per the Met department, heat wave conditions are likely to continue at a few or isolated places over the region till Tuesday.
\nThe IMD has issued an \u2018orange\u2019 alert for Akola, Amravati and Wardha and a \u2018yellow\u2019 alert for Nagpur, Chandrapur and Yavatmal for Tuesday, saying that the maximum temperatures are likely to reach 45 to 46 deg C and possibly up to 47 deg C at isolated locations.
\nA relief from the heat wave is expected thereafter and the mercury is likely to dip by 2 to 3 deg C, with the possibility of rainfall and gusty winds in the coming days, it added.
\nThe IMD grades the severity of any weather system through colour-coded alerts \u2013 green (no warning), yellow (be aware), orange (be prepared) and red (take action).<\/p>\n
