The temperatures are rising across the country and in some places the heat wave conditions can be witnessed. But there is some respite from April 2 to April 4 before the temperature rises again.

RK Jenamani, senior scientist, India Meteorological Department (IMD), while speaking with agency, said, “Northwest India has contributed to the highest temperature of 30.73 degrees Celsius which is the highest in 122 years. The temperature was continuously higher and the western Himalayan region recorded heatwave conditions.” “Along with this, Northeast India which normally gets thunderstorms did not receive much rain and because of that, Northeast India’s minimum temperature is the highest in 122 years. It was 25.20 degrees Celsius,” he said.

Jenamani said that India got an early heatwave, particularly Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
