Normally, such intense heat appears in April or May. However, the early heat this year has worried many people. Farmers also fear possible crop damage. High heat during this stage can harm standing crops and reduce yield.

Experts also warned about falling groundwater levels. Long periods of dry heat often reduce underground water. Therefore, authorities asked people to use water carefully.

Meanwhile, officials advised people to stay indoors from 12 noon to 5 pm. Residents should go outside only for urgent work during these hours. Drinking plenty of water is also important.
