India is expected to face an intense heatwave with temperatures reaching 43–45°C in the coming weeks.
Several regions have already crossed 40°C, indicating an early and severe summer.
The India Meteorological Department attributes this to dry winds and lack of western disturbances.
These conditions are accelerating the rise in temperatures across the country.
States like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh are worst affected.
Many areas are experiencing temperatures significantly above normal levels, triggering heatwave alerts.
Experts warn of a prolonged and hotter-than-usual summer.
People are advised to stay hydrated and avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours.
