Delhi is set for another sweltering Thursday, with dangerously high temperatures prompting an IMD red alert.

The IMD has issued an Orange Alert for districts in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Assam.

Delhi began Tuesday under warm conditions as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasted heatwave-like conditions for the day.

The IMD has issued a warning about an exceptionally hot summer ahead, forecasting higher-than-normal temperatures across the country.

The thick fog reduced visibility to near zero in many places, disrupting transportation, especially rail and flight operations.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch Mission Mausam on Tuesday during the 150th Foundation Day celebrations of the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
