Kolkata is experiencing a record heat wave, with the RealFeel at 39°C, feeling even more sweltering due to humid conditions. The weather forecast for the metropolis is for more hot and sticky days ahead, with day temperatures expected to soar as high as 40°C by the month-end. The Met department sounds an alert of prolonged heat stress, requesting people to drink lots of water and stay indoors when the sun is at its peak.
