Above-normal temperatures along with heatwave conditions are expected in most parts of India till May 31.For the plains, a 'heatwave' is declared when the maximum temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius and at least 4.5 notches above normal and if it continues for 4 days.

Two-wheeler commuters appear to be the worst hit in the southern metropolitan city.

As Chennai braces for worse, a government advisory has asked people to step out only if it's absolutely necessary. It added that people should wear a cap or use an umbrella and hydrate well.
