Even before we have fully recovered from one of the hottest summers ever in 2023, another summer has already dived in, with a surprise; much more heat. In fact, 2023 was one of the hottest years in 122 years. More heatwave days have been predicted this summer by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), with mercury already touching 38°C in several cities and is likely to cross 40°C soon.
IMD director general Mrutyunjay Mahapatra said most states will witness above-normal temperature from April to June. Heatwave days are expected in different states against the four to eight days every summer. The intensity of heat is expected to be the highest in May-June, especially over Central India. The warning comes at a time when the United Nation's World Meteorological Organisation warned recently that 2024 will be see abnormal high temperatures after the world, including Asia and India, broke heat records last year. We are not only breaking the records in competitions, but also in climate.
