"Delhi Shatters Heat Records Amid Unprecedented Temperature Surge"
TL;DR Summary
Indian cities are experiencing unprecedented high temperatures due to the urban heat island effect and the El Nino phenomenon, which has led to severe heatwaves in North and Central India. The urban heat island effect causes urban areas to be warmer than their rural surroundings due to human activities and infrastructure. The El Nino effect, characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures, has exacerbated the heat. This extreme heat is causing both dry and moist heat stress, leading to significant health concerns. A study by IMD indicates a 30% rise in heat stress cases in India over the past 40 years.
