* Many regions in India, including the north and the centre, are currently reporting hotter weather thanks to heat waves.
* The IMD has forecast ‘severe’ heat wave conditions for the next three days over parts of Rajasthan. Heat waves will also prevail over areas of Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat and Telangana.
* According to the government, the IMD’s predictive power to forecast heatwaves has increased significantly over the years.

Kochi: Many parts of India are facing sweltering temperatures due to heat waves. These include parts of northwest India, the Konkan coast, central India and Telangana. Some of these regions will continue to witness heat waves over the next three days, the Indian Meteorological Department has warned, while parts of east west Rajasthan may experience ‘severe’ heat waves.

Hot and dry winds blowing from regions facing heat waves are causing the mercury to rise in many areas. Our predictive power to forecast heatwaves (along with other hydro-meteorological calamities) has increased over the years, claimed Minister of State (Ministry of Science and Technology and Earth Sciences) Jitendra Singh, in a reply to a question in the Parliament on March 16. This could be crucial in the coming years because as per the latest intergovernmental climate reports, India is likely to experience more frequent and intense heat waves due to climate change.

IMD warns of ‘severe’ heat waves

Heat waves are periods of unusually hot weather that can impact human health adversely. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a region is classified as witnessing a heat wave when the maximum temperature reaches at least 40º C or more if it is located in the plains, or at 30º C or more in the hills. The IMD also declares a region to be experiencing a heat wave when its temperature departs from normal by 4.5º 6.4º C; if the departure from normal is more than 6.4º C, the region is said to be witnessing a ‘severe’ heat wave.
