Above Average Temperatures in March

India is set to witness above-normal temperatures in March 2025, raising concerns for farmers and daily life.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted unusually high temperatures, especially in central and northern states.

This could impact winter crops like wheat, chickpeas, and mustard, which are sensitive to heat during the ripening stage.

Experts fear a repeat of 2022, when sudden heatwaves reduced wheat yields, leading to export bans and price hikes.

With wheat prices already high, further stress on crops could worsen food inflation.

Authorities are urging farmers to take preventive measures to reduce heat stress on crops.

The rising temperatures also call for caution against heat-related illnesses, making hydration and heat protection essential.Keep an eye on the radar and take necessary precautions.
