Abstract

India is preparing for intense heat in May, which could strain power grids and pose health risks to residents until the monsoon season begins in June. The country is experiencing more extreme weather events due to climate change, with rising temperatures increasing the use of cooling devices and putting pressure on the power distribution system. The India Meteorological Department predicts above-normal heat wave days in states like Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh, while also forecasting normal to above-normal rains in most parts of the country next month.
