For warnings — heat, cyclone, heavy rain — use the India Meteorological Department, not a screenshot from a phone widget. City apps often show a different station or model than the observatory IMD used for the warning.

A 'feels like' number is not the official maximum. Orange and red warnings are about impact, not just the temperature on your balcony.
