IMD update: Northwest India is to experience a significantly warmer summer, while the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts almost twice the usual number of daily waves. The region, which usually records five to six days of wool in the season, can now face 10 to 12, said IMD scientist Soma Sen Roy or.
“We expect a slightly above normal wave conditions, especially in western and central India. In general, northwest India is seen around 5 to 6 days of wool. This year we expect 10 to 12 days, which is double normal,” Roy explained.
However, she explained that this was a seasonal forecast and does not mean that all days will be warmer than usual. IMD will continue to update the predictions by extended range and daily forecasts for more located accuracy.
IMD warns the waves of waves days: What does this mean for India
IMD has not confirmed whether this summer will exceed the record heat of 2024. Last year, India recorded an alarming 554 days of wool, making it the hottest year in the country’s history.
According to IMD, the wave of thermal waves is when the maximum temperature in the plains reaches at least 40 degrees Celsius or rises five degrees above normal.
The seasonal heat outlook of March to May 2025, which was published on February 28, warns that most India will see above normal maximum and minimum temperatures. However, some of the southernmost parts of the Peninsula India and the isolated areas in the northeast may almost normal or slightly below normal temperatures.
“During the season (March-May), above the normal minimum temperatures, in most parts of the Earth, with the exception of some of the southernmost areas of the India peninsula, where normal minimum temperatures are likely,” the prognosis said.
IMD predicts a short relief for northern India
In the coming days, Northern India will witness further temperature increases, and it is expected to heat up d and the surrounding areas of 1-2 degrees Celsius. However, a temporary relief may arrive with northwest winds from Rajasthan, which will bring a sharp drop in temperature by 3-4 degrees.
These dust-causing winds that blow at 20-30 km/h will sweep Pandjab, Haryana and Rajasthan in the next three days, causing dusty and dry weather.
Since the conditions of thermal wave are expected to intensify, the authorities are likely to issue heat protection councils and urgent to take the necessary measures.
