The Center for Policy Research (CPR) has released a report titled "How is India adapting to heatwaves?", which highlights India's lack of preparedness for extreme heat events.
All the alarms have gone off before what can happen this year with the world climate. The more than likely arrival of an El Niño episode can raise temperatures across the planet in ways never seen before.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) stated that this February was the warmest in 122 years since 1901. India's meteorological department has forecast a March-May heatwave across most of the country after record-high temperatures in February.
The weather conditions have changed drastically these days. Experts say the spring and summer season in India is likely to be dry and hot this year and have instructed the country to be prepared for El Nino.
The return of the El Niño phenomenon this year would cause an increase in global temperatures "out of the normal" and unprecedented heat waves, warn a group of scientists.
A global shift to an El Niño weather pattern later this year could pave the way for the world to exceed 1.5C of warming for the first time in 2024, according to the UK Met Office.
2022 was a year of climatic extremes, such as droughts or floods, record temperatures and concentrations of greenhouse gases, according to data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S)
2022 was confirmed as the hottest ever recorded in the United Kingdom, with the average annual temperature breaking the ten-degree barrier for the first time.
India could experience intense heat waves that will break the limit of human survival, according to a World Bank report. The country has recorded several deaths due to intense heat waves in the past two decades.
