Extreme Heat Likely Due to global warming, heat waves could intensify in many regions, including India. New high-temperature records may be set, particularly in North India, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
Drought and Water Crisis Many states may face severe water shortages due to rising temperatures. Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and parts of South India could experience acute water crises.
Impact on Monsoon Preparations Extreme heat may affect the nature of the monsoon. Delayed rainfall could pose challenges for farmers in sowing their crops on time
Increased Risk of Heatwaves More frequent and intense heatwaves could impact public health, particularly for the elderly, children, and vulnerable populations. Health departments will need to take preventive measures.
Power Shortages and Electricity Cuts The demand for electricity surges in summer, potentially leading to power shortages in many states. Overuse of air conditioners and coolers could strain the power grid.
Decline in Tourism High temperatures might deter tourists from visiting certain destinations. People may prefer cooler places, leading to overcrowding in hill stations.
Impact on Agriculture The intense heat could affect wheat, rice, and other crops. Livestock and dairy production may also suffer.
Spread of Summer-Related Illnesses Hot weather increases the risk of dehydration, heat stroke, food poisoning, and skin-related problems due to contaminated water and food.
Rising Sea Temperatures Warmer oceans may lead to an increase in cyclones, raising the risk of storms along India’s coastal regions.
New Technologies and Solutions Scientists may develop new technologies to combat heat, such as improved cooling systems, innovative water conservation methods, and climate-friendly farming techniques.
