This year the country will suffer more heat, IMD expressed apprehension

New Delhi:

This year, in many parts of the country, the heat is expected to be more than before.

If this happens, then in the coming days, lack of power supply in different parts can also emerge as a big problem.

Due to increase in heat, the use of equipment like AC, fan, cooler and freeze will increase, due to which the demand for electricity will also increase.

Director General of the Meteorological Department, Mrityunjay Mohapatra said that the parts of the country which are expected to get hotter this year mainly include Central India, East India and North West India. 

According to the report of the news agency Bloomberg, climate change is increasing the global temperature and it is worsening the frequency and intensity of weather events.

This time it is also being seen that the kind of heat that was felt in the sub-continent last year, its effect is now coming to the fore.

Mahapatra further said that many states of the country are receiving unseasonal rains in March.

Due to which wheat, mustard and onion crops have suffered a lot.

It is believed that the effect of damage to the crop on the cost of these things is almost certain.

That is, the price of these things can also increase in the coming days.

In such a situation, the concern of the farmers is that in the coming days, in the event of severe heat, farming will only get worse.

Let us tell you that in the month of March this year, 26 percent more rain than normal has been recorded so far. 

It is noteworthy that a few days ago also a report had come about the heat wave going on in the country this year.

In which it was said that India is on its way to become the most populous country in the world.

But in the midst of all this, due to the ever-increasing heat wave, human civilization itself is being seen in danger.

According to the report of the news agency Bloomberg, the National Meteorological Office had told that since 1901, February of the year 2023 has been the hottest in India.

Which is a matter of great concern.

It is feared that the repetition of last year's record heat wave will be seen this year as well.

Last year the crops had to face a lot of damage due to the heat.

Temperatures reached 50 °C (122 Fahrenheit).

This high temperature is intolerable in any situation.

According to the report, this summer is becoming even more unbearable due to the ever increasing population in India.

Kieran Hunt, a climate scientist at the University of Reading who has studied the country's weather patterns, said that "India is generally more humid than hot places like the Sahara. A World Bank report in November warned that India could become one of the first places in the world to see wet-bulb temperatures cross the threshold of 35°C. The question is, have we become accustomed to heatstroke? One of the authors of the report, Abhas Jha, said that "since it is not a sudden onset disaster, because it is a slow onset, we cannot stop it." Can."
