The Indian subcontinent is currently experiencing a severe heat crisis, with 19 out of the 20 hottest cities globally located in India. Medinipur, West Bengal, leads with temperatures soaring to 45°C. This extreme weather is primarily driven by a 'heat dome,' a high-pressure system that traps hot air and prevents cloud formation, resulting in relentless solar radiation and rising ground temperatures. Additionally, the weakening of western disturbances, which typically bring cooler winds and moisture, has exacerbated the situation. The ongoing 'Super El Niño' phenomenon is also contributing to drier conditions, raising concerns about a delayed monsoon season. As temperatures soar, authorities have issued red alerts in West Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha, urging residents to limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours. This unprecedented heatwave poses significant challenges for public health and climate resilience in the region.
