Temperature in the district started hitting 40 degree Celsius as the summer began to show its sultry face. The authorities have warned the people against venturing out to the sun especially between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
Many parts of the district registered extra heat in the last couple of days. The hot wind that blows from the eastern side of the district through the Palakkad Gap during the summer has begun to whip up dust clouds.
The Mundur and Malampuzha regions in the district registered the highest temperature. The rocky hills of Malampuzha that form part of the Western Ghats are the reason for a higher temperature in Malampuzha and neighbouring regions.
