Noida is likely to face intense heat on Tuesday, May 19, with the Google weather panel showing the day’s temperature around 44°C and the minimum around 31°C.
Weather pages for Noida indicate sunny and extremely hot conditions through the day, with 0% precipitation, humidity around 19%, and wind around 16 km/h. The strongest heat risk is likely during peak outdoor hours, especially for commuters, delivery workers, construction workers, traffic personnel, schoolchildren, elderly people and those with existing health conditions.
Pulse of Noida could not independently verify a fresh city-specific IMD warning page for Noida for May 19. However, IMD’s heat bulletin has warned that heat wave to severe heat wave conditions are likely in isolated or some pockets of Uttar Pradesh during May 19 to May 22. The bulletin also mentions warm night conditions in isolated pockets of West Uttar Pradesh on May 19.
Noida falls in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, part of western Uttar Pradesh. For residents, the safest approach today is to treat the afternoon as high-risk outdoor time.
The National Disaster Management Authority advises people to avoid going out in the sun, especially between 12 noon and 3 pm. Those who must step out should carry water, cover the head with a cap, scarf or umbrella, and wear loose, light-coloured cotton clothes.
Residents should keep drinking water even when they do not feel thirsty. They should also watch for warning signs such as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, cramps, fainting, unusual fatigue or lack of sweating.
Children, elderly people and pets should not be left inside parked vehicles, even briefly. Outdoor work, market visits and non-urgent travel are better planned for early morning or later in the evening.
