India is currently experiencing a severe heatwave, with 19 out of the 20 hottest cities in the world located within its borders. According to data released by AQI.in, cities such as Bhagalpur in Bihar, Talcher in Odisha, and Asansol in West Bengal are recording temperatures of 44°C. The India Meteorological Department has warned that heatwave conditions are expected to continue until April 24, with maximum temperatures potentially reaching up to 43°C across various regions. Meteorologists attribute this extreme heat to several factors, including intense solar heating, clear skies that amplify heat, and reduced snow cover in the Himalayas, which has diminished the Earth's ability to reflect sunlight. The ongoing heatwave highlights a broader atmospheric phenomenon affecting northern, central, and eastern India simultaneously. While northern and central regions are grappling with extreme temperatures, southern and northeastern India are experiencing contrasting weather with moisture inflow and thunderstorms. Experts caution that the clustering of extreme temperatures indicates increasing climate variability, with significant implications for the future.
