“The Meteorological Department has warned that temperatures will rise to 45°C–55°C from 29 April 2025 to 12 May 2025, so people should avoid going outside under the open sky between 10 AM and 3 PM.”
What FACTLY found
The Indian Meteorological Department and no other official source, including the DGCD, has issued any alert forecasting temperatures between 45°C and 55°C or advising people to stay indoors from 10 AM to 3 PM from 29 April to 12 May 2025. An IMD official from Hyderabad also denied the viral claim and clarified that no such forecast or heatwave warning was issued for that period.
