"There will be heatwave alert in other areas of North India - Punjab, Haryana, north Rajasthan, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Gangetic West Bengal - but it will be of lower intensity So, Punjab and Haryana will have Orange Alert for 4 days and then proceed to Yellow Alert. Gangetic West Bengal will have Orange Alert for 1-2 days and then Yellow Alert thereafter. This is happening because of the possibility of Easterly, there is also the possibility of impact of Western Disturbance.
