Indore News: सूरज ने दिखाए तीखे तेवर, इंदौर समेत इन 10 जिलों में चलेगी हीटवेव

मध्यप्रदेश के आसमान से बादलों की विदाई होते ही सूरज ने अपना रौद्र रूप दिखाना शुरू कर दिया है। इंदौर सहित पूरे प्रदेश में अब गर्मी का प्रभाव तेजी से बढ़ रहा है। मौसम विभाग के अनुसार कई जिलों में तापमान 40 डिग्री सेल्सियस की सीमा को पार कर चुका है। सोमवार को रतलाम जिला पूरे प्रदेश में सबसे गर्म स्थान रहा जहां अधिकतम तापमान 41.2 डिग्री सेल्सियस रिकॉर्ड किया गया। इसके अतिरिक्त धार, नर्मदापुरम और खरगोन में भी गर्मी का प्रकोप जारी है और यहां भी पारा 40 डिग्री से ऊपर बना हुआ है।

इंदौर में तापमान में भारी उछाल

इंदौर शहर में भी गर्मी के तेवर लगातार तीखे होते जा रहे हैं। रविवार को इस साल पहली बार तापमान 40 डिग्री के करीब पहुंच गया। पिछले कुछ दिनों के आंकड़े चौंकाने वाले हैं क्योंकि बुधवार से रविवार के बीच मात्र कुछ ही दिनों में तापमान में 7 डिग्री की बड़ी बढ़त देखी गई है। मौसम केंद्र की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार रविवार को अधिकतम तापमान 39.2 डिग्री रहा जबकि सोमवार को यह 38.8 डिग्री दर्ज हुआ। रात के तापमान में भी 1.2 डिग्री की वृद्धि हुई है जो अब 19.6 डिग्री पर पहुंच गया है। अनुमान है कि इस सप्ताह के अंत तक दिन का तापमान 41 डिग्री और रात का पारा 25 डिग्री तक जा सकता है।

इन जिलों में चलेगी भीषण लू

मौसम विभाग (IMD) ने चेतावनी जारी की है कि 16 और 17 अप्रैल से प्रदेश के कई हिस्सों में भीषण लू (हीटवेव) चलने की आशंका है। विशेष रूप से भोपाल, इंदौर और उज्जैन में गर्म हवाओं का प्रभाव रहेगा। वहीं रतलाम, झाबुआ, आलीराजपुर, धार, खरगोन, खंडवा, सीधी, सिंगरौली, मंडला और बालाघाट जैसे जिलों में लू का रेड अलर्ट जारी किया गया है। नागरिकों को दोपहर के समय घर से बाहर निकलते समय सावधानी बरतने की सलाह दी गई है।

नया सिस्टम कमजोर होगा जिससे और बढ़ती तपिश

15 अप्रैल से एक नया मौसम सिस्टम सक्रिय होने जा रहा है लेकिन विशेषज्ञों का मानना है कि यह तंत्र काफी कमजोर है। इस कारण गर्मी से राहत मिलने की कोई संभावना नजर नहीं आ रही है। अप्रैल का दूसरा पखवाड़ा ऐतिहासिक रूप से भी काफी गर्म रहता है। रिकॉर्ड बताते हैं कि इस दौरान ग्वालियर में पारा 45 डिग्री और इंदौर व भोपाल में 42 से 43 डिग्री तक पहुंच जाता है। वर्तमान स्थितियों को देखते हुए इस बार भी ऐसे ही हालातों की आशंका बनी हुई है।

बारिश का दौर खत्म अब लू का कहर

अप्रैल के शुरुआती दो हफ्तों में प्रदेश के कई हिस्सों में आंधी, बारिश और ओलावृष्टि का दौर देखने को मिला था। 1 से 9 अप्रैल के बीच करीब 45 जिलों में वर्षा हुई थी और ग्वालियर में सर्वाधिक बारिश दर्ज की गई थी। मौसम में आए इस बदलाव के कारण अब तक गर्मी का अहसास कम था लेकिन अब नमी पूरी तरह खत्म हो चुकी है। अब पूरे प्रदेश में शुष्क और गर्म हवाओं का राज होगा जिससे आने वाले दिनों में गर्मी और अधिक बढ़ेगी।

After Asian C’ships gold in 50kg, Vishvanath Suresh ready to go up to 55kg to make Asian Games squad <div id="content-body-70861412" itemprop="articleBody"><p>Having made his mark at the Asian Boxing Championships in Ulaanbaatar, Vishvanath Suresh, the newly-crowned champion in 50kg, is ready to go up to 55kg in order to make it to the Indian teams for the Commonwealth and the Asian Games.</p><p>A World youth champion in 2022 and an Asian Under-22 champion in 2024, Vishvanath, a product of the Army Sports Institute (ASI), Pune, waited for his time to compete at the elite level.</p><p>“I was No. 2 in my weight in the Services team and the No. 1 boxer went to the National Championships. After regular training, I did some extra work, which helped me. I got a chance and won the National title (in January last). The Asian Championships was my first major event. In the past few years, India didn’t have an Asian champion (in men’s boxing). Now I’ve become one,” Vishvanath told <i>Sportstar</i>.</p><p>“My one-sided quarterfinal win over World champion Sanzhar Tashkenbay was satisfying. The Kazakh fell off a punch in the last round. No Indian had beaten him after Amit Panghal (in the 2024 Strandja tournament). That gave me a lot of confidence.”</p><p>The 21-year-old is delighted to have made his boxer father M. Suresh, who bagged junior medals in the Nationals in the mid-1990s before hanging up his gloves to support his family, super proud.</p><p>Now the Chennai boy faces the challenge of going up to an Olympic weight, 55kg, for the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games.</p><p>“Life is incomplete without challenges. My first target is assessment (to get selected). My body weight stays around 54kg. It will be advantageous as I can eat a bit and box. All eyes will be on me. But my hard work will keep me ahead. I need to increase my strength for 55kg.”</p><p>Vishvanath’s ultimate aim is to shine at Los Angeles 2028. “I want to win a gold in the Olympics, not just any medal. Vijender Singh’s bronze in 2008 inspires me, but it’s a shame that we’ve not won an Olympics medal (in men’s boxing) since then. I want to change Indians’ mindset,” said Vishvanath.</p><p class="publish-time" id="end-of-article">Published on Apr 14, 2026</p></div> #Asian #Cships #gold #50kg #Vishvanath #Suresh #ready #55kg #Asian #Games #squad

5 small-school NFL Draft prospects who can have a big impact on defense <div id="zephr-anchor"><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">No matter what you think of NIL and the transfer portal — and your opinion is probably valid as long as it isn’t, say, <a href="https://www.tuberville.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/tuberville-promotes-his-new-bill-to-rein-in-transfer-portal-during-help-hearing/">Tommy Tuberville’s</a> — there’s one thing for certain about college football’s changing landscape, and that’s the relative lack of smaller-school players in every draft class. <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44024033/2025-nfl-combine-small-school-prospects-fcs-division-ii-transfer-portal-nil">Per ESPN’s Kalyn Kahler</a>, the rate of prospects who transferred to bigger schools rose from 5.4% in 2018 to 38.2% in 2025. Better players are often moving to bigger schools for more money, yes, but also the opportunity to show their skills against a higher level of competition, in order to blot out that particular question mark in the eyes of NFL shot-callers.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">In 2025, Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty (by way of Boise State) and Seattle left guard Grey Zabel (by way of North Dakota State) were the only first-round picks from non-major conferences, and that trend looks to continue in 2026. Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren should be a lead-pipe lock as a first-round pick, but outside of that, it doesn’t look great for those guys outside of the bigger schools and conferences. Maybe San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson sneaks into the back of the first round (which he should, based on performance; more on him later), and after that, we’re grasping at straws.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Still, there are smaller-school prospects whose tape reveals NFL starting potential in the right system, and here are my favorites in this particular draft class.

Ohio State’s Arvell Reese is EDGE1 in the minds of most, but only 58% of his snaps last season came on the edge (34% as an off-ball linebacker, and the rest as an inside blitzer/spinner), so there’s some projection there. Beyond David Bailey, Rueben Bain Jr., Keldric Faulk, Akheem Mesidor, and the rest of the top-tier disruptors, I could see NFL teams warming to UCF’s Malachi Lawrence sooner than later when the draft begins, and if he leapfrogs some of those guys when the picks are made, don’t be too surprised.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">In 2025, the 6’4”, 253-pound Lawrence had seven sacks, 40 total pressures, 19 solo tackles, 18 stops, four tackles for loss, and two forced fumbles. He then amplified his profile with a scouting combine that gave him <a href="https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/malachi-lawrence">a spider chart for the ages</a>, and the good thing is, all that athleticism shows up on tape. Lawrence is a relentless rusher who has the moves to deal with NFL tackles, he can kick inside in certain packages, and he can run and chase quarterbacks and running backs all the way to the boundary. You’re never really safe when Lawrence is out there, and I think that will transfer to the NFL.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h2 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">Michael Heldman, EDGE, Central Michigan</h2></p></div><div class="duet--article--block-placement jgpyd51 jgpyd50 duet--article--article-body-component"><div style="position:relative"><div class="_1nfb3k4j"><div class=""><div style="background-image:none" class="duet--media--content-warning _1i91r6b0"><div class="duet--article--image-gallery-image _1eezmj00" style="aspect-ratio:1.512821" id="c2IyOmltYWdlOjExMTAxNjM="><a class="_1eezmj01" href="https://platform.sbnation.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/imagn-27051194.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0,0,100,100" data-pswp-height="2574" data-pswp-width="3894" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><img alt="Sep 6, 2025; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Pittsburgh Panthers quarterback Eli Holstein (10) runs the ball as Central Michigan Chippewas defensive lineman Michael Heldman (97) chases during the first quarter at Acrisure Stadium.

He had 12 sacks, 53 total pressures, 25 solo tackles, 29 stops, five tackles for loss, and two forced fumbles, and while he did all that mostly on the edge, he also kicked inside on 13% of his snaps, showing the requisite strength and leverage to blow up run fits.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">I don’t see a Bosa brother when I watch Heldman’s tape, but from the size to the power/speed combination to the four-point stance, he brings to mind Ryan Kerrigan, who the then-Washington Redskins took with the 16th overall pick in the 2011 draft out of Purdue. Kerrigan developed into a great power-rocked pass rusher with more than credible run defense and the ability to line up over and inside the tackles. When you watch Heldman against Central Michigan’s toughest opponents in 2025, it’s not hard to see the NFL transition.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h2 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">Kaleb Proctor, DI, Southeastern Louisiana</h2></p></div><div class="duet--article--block-placement jgpyd51 jgpyd50 duet--article--article-body-component"><div style="position:relative"><div class="_1nfb3k4j"><div class=""><div style="background-image:none" class="duet--media--content-warning _1i91r6b0"><div class="duet--article--image-gallery-image _1eezmj00" style="aspect-ratio:1.5" id="c2IyOmltYWdlOjExMTAxNjg="><a class="_1eezmj01" href="https://platform.sbnation.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/gettyimages-2263768745.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0,0,100,100" data-pswp-height="3416" data-pswp-width="5124" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><img alt="INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - FEBRUARY 26: Kaleb Proctor of the Southeastern Louisiana Lions participtates in a drill during the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium on February 26, 2026 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Of all the small-school prospects I’ve watched in this year’s process, Southeastern Louisiana’s Kaleb Proctor shot out of my laptop and got right in my face more than any other. In 2025, the 6’2”, 291-pound Proctor totaled nine sacks, 39 pressures, 18 solo tackles, 22 stops, and two tackles for loss. If you’re worried about strength of competition, hit the tape tweet below, and watch his two sacks against LSU.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Oh. <a href="https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/kaleb-proctor">And then, he completely killed it at the combine</a>.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">I’ve had a thing for smaller defensive tackles that goes all the way back to John Randle, and has served me well in evaluation from Grady Jarrett through to that Aaron Donald guy. Proctor could be the next in line. The gap quickness is off the charts, and that plays well in an NFL where stunts and line games are more important than ever, because defenses want more and better ways to mess with protections and create pressure without blitzing. Proctor has no real bad weight on his frame, and adding another 10 pounds of muscle might prevent him from getting washed out by the occasional double-team, but it’s not an epic problem — Proctor was double-teamed on 168 of his 564 snaps last season, and his ability to knife through doubles was evident.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">If you get Proctor on the second day of the draft, and you turn him loose as a one-gap penetrator and move tackle with some spice on the edges as well, he’s going to be a force.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">As always, tape don’t lie.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h2 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">Domonique Orange, DI, Iowa State</h2></p></div><div class="duet--article--block-placement jgpyd51 jgpyd50 duet--article--article-body-component"><div style="position:relative"><div class="_1nfb3k4j"><div class=""><div style="background-image:none" class="duet--media--content-warning _1i91r6b0"><div class="duet--article--image-gallery-image _1eezmj00" style="aspect-ratio:1.498858" id="c2IyOmltYWdlOjExMTAxODU="><a class="_1eezmj01" href="https://platform.sbnation.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/04/imagn-27018636.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0,0,100,100" data-pswp-height="1752" data-pswp-width="2626" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><img alt="Sep 6, 2025; Ames, Iowa, USA; Iowa State Cyclones defensive lineman Domonique Orange (95) celebrates after a play against the Iowa Hawkeyes during the second half at Jack Trice Stadium.

In the case of Iowa State, it’s the constant use of three-man fronts that make you pause and wonder how it all works out. This happened to me when I was watching Will McDonald IV back in 2023 — I loved his skill set, but it was incredibly frustrating to see the 6’3”, 241-pound McDonald lined up inside the tackles so often, and then see people bashing his pressure production. The New York Jets took McDonald 15th overall in the 2023 draft regardless, and McDonald has become a very good edge-rusher, which he was born to be.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Now, onto the 6’2”, 322-pound Domonique Orange. Last season for the Cyclones, “Big Citrus” had no sacks, 13 pressures, 20 solo tackles, 16 stops, and a pass breakup against BYU tight end Carsen Ryan that bordered on homicide.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Beyond that, and as was the case with Will McDonald, you can’t box-score scout Orange and expect to come away with a clear picture. In 2025, Orange played 84% of his snaps as a nose tackle, and he didn’t have the help most other NCAA nose tackles had, because of all those three-man fronts. What we do know is that Orange’s movement skills for his size are exceptional, and he was also able to pressure on the edge in those three-man fronts, which is pretty neat to see.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Put Big Citrus in NFL four- and five-man fronts, and let the big man eat.

We don’t really need to goose that up to any degree. If you want more on McNeil-Warren, <a href="https://athlonsports.com/nfl/2026-nfl-draft-safety-caleb-downs-emmanuel-mcneil-warren-dillon-thieneman">you can check this out</a>. But Chris Johnson, who I also mentioned? Maybe he hits the back of the first round based on his tape, and maybe he doesn’t. But he should. There’s an easy argument to be made that after LSU’s Mansoor Delane and Tennessee’s Jermod McCoy, he’s the best cornerback in this class, and he does everything well.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Last season, the 6’0”, 193-pound Johnson allowed 18 catches on 43 targets for 185 yards, 79 yards after the catch, no touchdowns, four interceptions, five pass breakups, and an opponent passer rating of 16.1 — by far the lowest among FBS cornerbacks last season who played at least 50% of their teams’ snaps last season. Delane ranked second at 31.3.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Johnson’s targets were about equally distributed between press and off coverage in 2025, and there were no issues with either. He comes out of low stance to turn and run well with receivers, he will fight for the ball in creating contested-catch situations, and he’s got some juice as a blitzer.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">To bring up another Toledo defensive back, I could see Johnson making a similar immediate impact for his NFL team that Quinyon Mitchell did for the Philadelphia Eagles when they took Mitchell with the 22nd overall pick in the 2022 draft. Mitchell had a few rookie struggles, but he put it together very well down the stretch in 2024, and now, he’s one of the NFL’s better cornerbacks. Johnson could well be on the same path.</p></div></div> #smallschool #NFL #Draft #prospects #big #impact #defense
