April 2024 witnessed unprecedented heat in East and North-East India, with record-breaking minimum temperatures reaching 22.19 degrees Celsius, the highest since 1901. Maximum temperatures also surged, marking it as the ninth hottest month on record

Data shared by a leading climate scientist indicates that the Earth’s temperature briefly surpassed a critical threshold, which scientists have long warned could have disastrous and irreversible effects on the planet and its ecosystems.

A recent study by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, published in the journal Nature Communications, reveals that many songbirds are nesting

Climate change and rising temperatures are impacting all forms of life, including large predators like leopards, and cheetahs. A recent study has raised concerns that these increasing temperatures are altering the behaviour of such predators.

The new record exceeds the previous highest temperature of 50.3°C, which state-run Xinjiang Daily reported in 2015 near Ayding, also in the Turpan Depression.

Following the recent announcement of the onset of El Niño and record sea surface temperatures last month, the first eleven days of this month saw the highest temperatures ever recorded for this time of year.

As global temperatures continue to rise, communities around the world are feeling the effects of climate change, including those in the hill station.

A recent announcement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), El Niño is likely to develop this summer, a recurring weather pattern that can cause widespread disruption of marine ecosystems and impact global weather events.

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.

Rising temperatures in Shimla, Dharamshala and other Himachal Pradesh hill stations disappointed tourists. IMD has reported that Shimla
