A cold wave is defined when the minimum temperature drops significantly below normal levels for a particular region. The impact of a cold wave can be extensive, affecting daily routines and outdoor activities. Prolonged exposure to extreme cold can also pose health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. During such periods, the IMD often issues specific advisories advising people to take precautions. This may include staying indoors as much as possible, wearing warm clothing, and taking care to protect themselves from the chilling wind. The alerts are designed to ensure safety and to inform individuals about the potential risks associated with the cold.
