What to Expect!
Will Heatwaves Return in May?

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) says many parts of India may face more heatwaves this May.

Temperatures are expected to be higher than normal in central and northwest states like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh. Some places might experience 2 to 7 heatwave days.

This means very hot and dry weather, which can be dangerous, especially for children, the elderly, and outdoor workers.
