New Delhi, Monday June 18 The summer is at its peak and heat wave conditions are prevailing over many parts of the country, especially the central and north. A short trip to the hill stations is what would refresh many a soul and prepare them to face this heat again bravely. But unfortunately enough many hill stations in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are also reeling under intense heat.
Maximum temperatures over the famous hill station of Shimla are around thirty, almost seven degrees above normal. The nights here are equally uncomfortable with minimums hovering five degrees above normal.
The situation in Dharmashala, home Dalai Lama and Buddhist culture in India is no different. The days are hotter than usual by five degrees Celsius and the nights by seven.
Manali looks better off in the bunch with the day being warmer by four degrees beyond normal and the night at a cool one degree. The condition in Uttarakhand hill stations like Mussoorie and Nainital are almost similar.
So, if you want to take off for a summer vacation, you should head for Srinagar, Gangtok or Darjeeling. While Srinagar is at its seasonal normals, the heaven on earth always proves to be an exhilarating option.
Gangtok and Darjeeling in the eastern Himalayas are being moistened by the monsoon showers and might render picturesque views for travel shutter bugs apart from being rejuvenating.
An exciting option can also be travelling to Kerala or Konkan that get splashed with rains during monsoon (the yearly rainfall event has already covered these parts) and catch up on nature’s beauty. The greens of the Western Ghats in Konkan and the backwaters in Kerala throw up some breathtaking scenes during monsoon.
New Delhi, Monday June 18 The week however has to be survived with the mercury levels hovering around the mid-forties with mostly sunny skies in the offing. Extreme heat exerts the body immensely as it tries to fight the surrounding temperatures and stay calm inside through perspiration and evaporation. It has been medically proven that young children and older people are at a greater risk under such heat.
The Indian summer is unavoidable though as people from all walks of life have to venture out to make a living. There has been a lot said and written about dos and don’ts while in hot weather especially heat wave conditions. But to reassert these under the current spate of heat wave conditions, we have put together our own list for you to read and benefit from.
Drink plenty of fluids but not alcohol (it dehydrates the body). Also, do not wait to feel thirsty. Drink fluid in small quantities throughout the day
Taking cool showers or baths and/or sprinkle cold water several times a day
Closing blinds or curtains can help keep home/office cool
Meals should be taken at normal times. Heat induced loss of appetite and not eating properly may cause health-related problems
Eat moderately (avoid heavy meals) and do not heat your food too much
If venturing out is unavoidable, try to plan to at least in the morning or evening hours (avoid the time between 11 am and 3 pm). Also, try avoid being in the sun for long time spans
Do not leave children or animals in parked cars. Even on cool days, strong sunshine can make car interiors very hot
Wear loose fitting clothes, allowing air circulation and protection from heat
In cases of feeling dehydrated and/or lot of perspiration, drink only cool water as it gets absorbed quickly in the body. Also, juices, sodas and cold water should be avoided for immediate relief
If you exercise regularly, try to shorten and relax the exercise regime a bit

India witnesses two cyclone seasons in a year. First is during pre-Monsoon season in April and May, while other is during post-Monsoon season in October and November. During this, all the Indian seas become active and may see several systems coming up. However, all these weather systems do not transform into cyclones.

According to AVM GP Sharma, President, Meteorology and Climate Change, Skymet Weather, “We expect these systems to combine together and further intensify into a well-marked low pressure area in Southwest Bay of Bengal by May 14.”
Thereafter, it is likely to strengthen into a depression and then possibly become the first cyclonic storm of the season.
This system will be responsible for the onset of Southwest Monsoon over Andaman and Nicobar Islands before the scheduled arrival.
