India is bracing for a potentially scorching summer as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts a surge in heatwave days from April to June. Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, the director-general of IMD, announced during a virtual press conference that maximum temperatures during this period are expected to soar above normal levels.

The IMD's forecast warns of more frequent heatwave occurrences across India in the coming months. Mrutyunjay Mohapatra emphasized the likelihood of prolonged periods of hot weather, indicating that temperatures are anticipated to remain consistently higher than usual between April and June.

The IMD's latest projections come amid growing concerns over climate change and its impact on weather patterns. With temperatures on the rise, authorities are urging citizens to take necessary precautions to combat the effects of the impending heatwave.

As India prepares for the hotter months ahead, attention is turning to measures aimed at mitigating the potential risks associated with extreme heat, including public health advisories and strategies to ensure access to adequate cooling facilities.

Currently, temperatures in northwest India are unusually high, but the influence of Western disturbances is expected to gradually lower them. Nevertheless, temperatures above 35°C are still expected in the region due to the summer season.

Heatwave conditions persist in Maharashtra and neighboring regions, with Madhya Pradesh forecasted to experience similar conditions for the next two days.

Dry weather is expected in central India. Furthermore, heatwaves are predicted in certain parts of Karnataka for the next two days.
