East Madhya Pradesh on 02nd & 03rd; Chhattisgarh during 01st -03rd May.

Impact expected:
➢ Breaking of tree branches, uprooting of large avenue trees. Large dead limbs blown from trees.
Damage to Standing crops.
➢ Minor to Major damage to banana and papaya trees.
➢ Minor to major damage to power and communication lines due to breaking of branches.
➢ Strong wind/hail may damage plantation, horticulture and standing crops.

Impact expected and action suggested due to Heat wave conditions over
❖ Heat wave to severe heat wave conditions very likely in isolated pockets of Jammu division,
southwest Rajasthan on 01st May.

Yellow alert Areas

➢ Moderate temperature & heat is tolerable for general public but moderate health concern likely for vulnerable
people e.g. infants, elderly, people with chronic diseases.
➢ Avoid heat exposure.
➢ Wear lightweight, light colour, loose, cotton clothes.
➢ Cover your head, use a cloth, hat or umbrella.
Agromet advisories for likely impact of Hailstorm / Heavy Rainfall / Gusty Winds / Heat wave

➢ In Odisha, Kerala and South Interior Karnataka, make provision to drain out excess water from
standing crop and vegetable fields.
➢ In Sub Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim, Odisha, Bihar, Uttarakhand, East Uttar Pradesh,
Chhattisgarh and East Madhya Pradesh, use hail nets and hail caps to prevent mechanical damage in
vegetables and orchards due to the possibility of hailstorms.
➢ To protect standing crops, vegetables and orchards from the adverse effects of heat waves and high
temperatures, apply light and frequent irrigation in the evening.
➢ Shift the harvested produce in safer places or cover the produce with tarpaulin sheets in the fields. Tie
the harvested crops properly and cover them to minimise the risk of displacement due to strong surface
winds.
➢ Provide mechanical support to horticultural crops and staking to vegetables to avoid lodging.

Livestock / Poultry / Fishery

➢ Keep the animals inside the shed during heavy rainfall / hailstorm and provide them balanced feed.
➢ Store feed and fodder in a safe place to prevent spoilage.
➢ To reduce the effect of heat wave/high temperature, cover the roof of poultry sheds with grass. Also,
provide clean, hygienic and plenty of drinking water to animals.
➢ Construct an outlet with proper netting around the ponds to drain out excess water, thereby preventing
fish from escaping in case of overflow.
