IMD officials had said a prolonged dry spell has led to severe hot weather conditions in northwest India.

The weather department has predicted severe heatwave conditions at isolated places between April 3 and 6.
A "severe" heatwave is declared if the departure from normal temperature is more than 6.4 notches, according to the IMD.
