India confronts sharper, earlier heatwaves as El Niño intensifies
India is experiencing unusually intense heatwaves earlier in the year, with temperatures surpassing 40°C in many regions and near 46–47°C in places like Akola. The warming trend is linked to the developing El Niño, which could amplify heat extremes and disrupt monsoon patterns, threatening health, livelihoods, and energy demand. The Lancet Countdown links heat exposure to rising illness and potential income losses, while urban design and incomplete protection worsen risk.
