Meteorological Centre of India predicts an abnormally hot summer across India with longer and more severe heat waves than usual.
This year even before the summer began the impact of the heat could be felt in various parts of India. A first of its kind, the Met study says the greater heat of the April-June season could be linked to greenhouse gases.
Recent research analysis suggests that the frequency and duration of heat waves over the country are showing an increasing trend. Warmer than normal temperatures are expected in all meteorological sub-divisions of the country.
Above-normal heat wave conditions are very likely over central and northwest India.
