While several states are witnessing downpours, other states in the country have been grappling with the scorching heatwave conditions following the summer spell. The Regional Meteorological Centre in Rajasthan has issued a yellow alert for a heatwave from May 7 to 10 on Monday and mentioned the possibility of loo following the hot weather conditions in the state. People are resorting to drinking sugarcane juice and using umbrellas to tackle the extreme heat when outside.
