In the coming days, maximum temperatures between 44 and 47 degrees Celsius are expected to persist in significant divisions including Jodhpur, Jaipur, Bharatpur, and Kota.
The escalating heatwave has led to an uptick in patients at hospitals across the national capital. According to health professionals, those who work outdoors under direct sunlight are suffering the most due to the relentless heat conditions.
