These States Likely To Experience 'Above-Normal' Heatwave From April-June. Check Details

Heat Wave in India: According to the IMD forecast, northwest, central, and eastern India will also experience a higher-than-usual number of heatwave days from April to June.

An India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast for the summer heatwave predicts above-average maximum temperatures across the majority of the country from April to June, reported news agency PTI. According to the IMD forecast, northwest, central, and eastern India will also experience a higher-than-usual number of heatwave days from April to June.

According to the IMD, "most parts of the country are expected to experience above-normal maximum temperatures during the 2023 hot weather season (April to June), except for south peninsular India and some parts of northwest India where normal to below-normal maximum temperatures are likely," as quoted by PTI.

In a virtual press conference, IMD Director General Mrutyunjay Mahapatra stated, "A significantly higher number of heatwave days are predicted over parts of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab and Haryana."

Over northwest India, which incorporates Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, heatwave conditions are improbable in the primary portion of April, as per Mrutyunjay Mohapatra. Additionally, he stated that April rainfall forecasts were favorable for the northwest and central parts of India.

A heatwave is declared when a station's maximum temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius in plains, 37 degrees Celsius in coastal areas, and 30 degrees Celsius in hilly areas, with a minimum deviation of 4.5 degrees Celsius.

India logged its hottest February this year since record-keeping started in 1901, as per the IMD.

Be that as it may, above-normal rainfall (37.6 mm against an ordinary of 29.9 mm) because of seven western disturbances, including serious areas of strength for five, held temperatures under control in March.

The third driest and warmest March in 121 years occurred in 2022. In addition, the nation experienced its third-warmest April, its eleventh-warmest August, and its eighth-warmest September since 1901.

The IMD said that most of the country will probably have minimum temperatures that are normal to above normal, with the exception of a few places in the northeast and northwest India and a few small parts of the peninsular.
