A severe heatwave will continue to scorch north-west India for another five days, with Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh expected to be the worst hit. Temperatures soared to a record 47.4 degrees Celsius in west Delhi's Najafgarh on Friday, the highest this season. The India Meteorological Department has issued a "red" warning for the region, urging extreme caution for vulnerable populations. The heatwave is expected to persist over the plains of northwest India for the next five days, and over eastern and central regions for the next three days. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions to stay safe.
