Heatwave Conditions Continue in East and Peninsular India: IMD

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings of ongoing heatwave conditions in parts of eastern and peninsular India, including Tamil Nadu, interior Karnataka, and Telangana. The forecast indicates unusual warmth across most regions in these areas.

According to officials familiar with the matter, severe heatwave conditions are affecting areas of Odisha, parts of Gangetic West Bengal, and Jharkhand. This heatwave trend is expected to persist, with heatwave conditions likely in isolated pockets of Tamil Nadu, interior Karnataka, Telangana, Odisha, Jharkhand, Gangetic West Bengal, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, and Rayalaseema.

Maximum temperatures have soared in several regions, ranging from 40-43 degrees Celsius in Vidarbha and Odisha, among other areas. Additionally, minimum temperatures are above normal by 3-5 degrees Celsius in various locations.

Warm night conditions are prevalent in isolated pockets across several states, including North Interior Karnataka, Telangana, East Madhya Pradesh, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, and Odisha.

The IMD also highlighted the likelihood of hot and humid weather in specific regions over the coming days, including Kerala, coastal areas of Saurashtra & Kutch, Odisha, West Bengal, Coastal Karnataka, Konkan, Goa, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, and Rayalaseema.

The early rise in maximum and minimum temperatures, particularly in eastern and peninsular India, has drawn attention from meteorological experts. Heatwave conditions are officially declared when maximum temperatures exceed 40°C in plains, 37°C in coastal areas, and 30°C in hilly regions, with a deviation of 4.5 to 6.4°C above average maximum temperature for two consecutive days.

Meanwhile, the weather department noted light to moderate rainfall/snowfall accompanied by thunderstorms in various regions, influenced by cyclonic circulations and troughs in neighboring areas.
