A red warning has been issued for West Bengal and Odisha, while Bihar and parts of Karnataka are under an orange alert.

Odisha has been experiencing heatwave conditions since April 15, while Gangetic West Bengal has been affected since April 17.The IMD has also warned of warm night conditions in Odisha from April 27-29, which can pose health risks as the body doesn't adequately cool down during the night. Urban areas are particularly susceptible to rising nighttime temperatures due to the urban heat island effect.
Heatwave conditions are declared when the maximum temperature reaches certain thresholds, with severe heat waves declared if the departure from normal temperatures exceeds a specific range.Amid weakening El Nino conditions, the IMD has previously cautioned about extreme heat during the April-June period, coinciding with the Lok Sabha elections.
