Weather is extreme in India, and North India temperatures have reached as high as 50 degree Celsius.
In Rajasthan, Phalodi reached a blistering 50 degrees Celsius, turning Sunday into a real test of endurance for people across India, especially those heading out to cast their votes in the ongoing elections.
The India Meteorological Department noted that this is the highest temperature recorded since June 1, 2019, when Churu, also in Rajasthan, felt the heat at 50.8 degrees Celsius. Let's not forget Phalodi's record-setting moment back in 2016, when it hit a blazing 51 degrees Celsius.
(IMD) predicted on Monday that the country can expect 'above normal' monsoon rainfall overall, especially in the monsoon core zone crucial for rain-fed agriculture, during the June to September rainy season.
This is a positive signal for the economy, with a 61% probability of 'above normal' rainfall predicted.
However, relief from the sweltering heat won't come soon for most parts of northwest India. The region will continue to endure scorching temperatures in June, with only brief relief expected after three days due to western disturbances. The IMD forecasts at least four to six days of heatwave conditions next month.
Other regions of the country will also experience normal to above normal maximum and minimum temperatures in June. While climate change is a significant factor in rising temperatures, there are multiple underlying reasons contributing to the extreme heat in India.
The El Nino certainly is a major contributor is effecting human body and also kind.
These heatwaves are causing immediate fatalities, but milder ones result in more deaths over time due to their frequency, according to Nature.
