Saharanpur. The heat is continuously taking a severe form. Today the heat has broken the record of the last ten years and has made people miserable. Today has been a very hot day in the last ten years. The minimum temperature has reached 30 and the maximum temperature has reached 46 degrees. Due to this, it is also considered to be the hottest day of this season so far. The Meteorological Department has predicted further increase in temperature in the coming days. The maximum temperature has remained above 45 degrees Celsius for the last four days. The minimum temperature has also crossed 29, but today the temperature has increased further. The minimum temperature increased to 30 and the maximum temperature reached 46 degrees Celsius. The situation was such that it was difficult to go out on the roads during the afternoon. People who came out on the road on two-wheelers were scorched by the scorching sun, hot winds and the furnace-like heat emanating from the hot roads. Most people avoided going out in the afternoon. Due to this, the main markets and roads were seen lying empty. The policemen managing the traffic were also seen taking shelter under the shade of trees on the side instead of the intersection. On the other hand, the heat has been such that the ACs of the vehicles have failed. Apart from this, the coolers installed in the houses could not reduce the effect of heat.
