Heatwave Warning for JanakpurDham, Nepal and Southern Regions

 

JanakpurDham, Nepal - The weather forecast for JanakpurDham and the southern regions of Nepal is raising concerns as more scorching days are on the horizon, posing health risks to the local population. A well-marked low-pressure area is anticipated to develop over the Bay of Bengal around October 3 or 4, leading to a high likelihood of a heatwave affecting JanakpurDham and its surrounding areas from September 29 to October 3.

                                 

Key Points to Note:

 

- Temperature Surge: The maximum temperature in JanakpurDham is expected to rise by 4 to 5 degrees Celsius between September 30 and October 1, intensifying the heatwave conditions. This significant temperature increase may result in discomfort and health issues for residents.

 

- Low-Pressure System: A looming low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal could have far-reaching effects, potentially making landfall in southern Nepal and the Bihar region of India around October 6 and 7. This could exacerbate the already challenging weather conditions.

 

- Rainfall Relief: Relief from the scorching heat is anticipated with light to moderate rainfall accompanied by winds in southern parts of Nepal around October 7 and 8. This should bring temporary respite from the heatwave.

 

- Heatwave Warning: Districts in Province 2 of Nepal, including Dhanusha, Mahottari, Siraha, Saptari, Sarlahi, and Rautahat, may experience heatwave-like conditions over the next 7-8 days, potentially affecting the well-being of the local population.

 

Local authorities strongly advise residents to stay hydrated by consuming ample water to combat the rising temperatures and potential heatwave conditions. Heatwaves can lead to various health issues, including heat exhaustion and heatstroke, so it is crucial to take precautions.
