Agriculture Department urges farmers cover harvests
With temperatures set to soar past 40 Celsius in places like Akola and Solapur, these storms could put both public safety and crops at risk.
The Agriculture Department is asking farmers to cover their harvests and finish important work before the bad weather hits.
Also, everyone's advised to avoid sheltering under trees or near power lines during thunderstorms due to lightning risks.
