While the rain will bring a temporary dip in temperatures, it's important to remember that the heatwave is not completely over. Health experts and the IMD advise residents to continue taking necessary precautions:

  1. All the Delhi-NCR schools have been instructed to avoid conducting student assemblies during the afternoon hours in order to minimise heat exposure, which can cause fatal life events.
  2. The DoE has also directed the schools to avoid conducting classes in open, especially during the afternoon hours.
  3. All outdoor activities during the school hours have been banned until the weather conditions improve - further notice by authorities is issued.
  4. Schools have also been advised to focus on the importance of staying hydrated during the heatwave to keep the health happy. As per the directive, "an adequate supply of drinking water must be readily accessible to students at all times. RO systems and water coolers must be maintained in proper working order."
  5. Schools are to schedule water breaks as part of the class routine to encourage students to stay hydrated and drink water throughout the day.
  6. All classrooms are to be properly ventilated and equipped with functional fans in order to maintain a cooler indoors atmosphere.
  7. "Functional extinguishers are to be installed in all corridors, adhering to fire department specifications," as per the directive.

Schools have been instructed to prioritise health preparedness amid the ongoing heatwave. As per the latest directive, "Any instance of heat-related illness must be addressed immediately. First aid kits should be equipped with ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) for students showing symptoms. All cases of heat-related illness must be promptly reported to the nearest health facility or hospital." The Directorate also emphasised that "all existing safety measures and hygienic conditions must be consistently maintained across all schools."
