Delhi experienced its hottest day of the season at 45.8°C on Tuesday, driven by dry, hot westerly winds from Rajasthan. Outer Delhi areas like Narela and Mungeshpur almost breached 50°C, hitting 49.9°C. Other NCR regions also suffered, with Faridabad at 48.4°C and Noida at 47.3°C. The India Meteorological Department forecasts continued heat on Wednesday, with potential relief from a western disturbance by Thursday. Experts attribute these extreme temperatures to local weather conditions and climate change, highlighting significant public health risks.              

Cyclone Remal has claimed 39 lives across northeastern India, causing extensive damage with heavy rains and landslides. Mizoram was hit hardest, with 27 deaths reported, while Assam and Nagaland faced fatalities and severe infrastructure damage. Schools in Meghalaya were closed as a precaution. The cyclone, which made landfall between West Bengal's Sagar Island and Bangladesh’s Khepupara, has also disrupted power and water supplies. Officials warn of continued heavy rainfall and urge residents to stay indoors. The IMD predicts further severe weather, impacting millions across the region. Emergency relief efforts are ongoing.

At least 34 fatalities occurred across India due to Cyclone Remal, with northeastern states bearing the brunt of heavy rainfall and landslides. Mizoram reported 22 deaths, Assam saw two, and six casualties occurred in West Bengal and other northeastern regions. The India Meteorological Department issued warnings of continued heavy rainfall, posing risks to vulnerable structures and traffic disruptions. Mizoram reported 22 deaths, while Assam witnessed two fatalities. The cyclone, with wind speeds of up to 135 kph, made landfall between West Bengal and Bangladesh, affecting millions and prompting government responses to mitigate damage.

Amid a scorching heatwave sweeping across North India, several areas in Delhi witnessed extreme temperatures nearing 50 degrees Celsius. Mungeshpur and Narela recorded highs of 49.9°C, marking a significant departure of 9 degrees from the normal range. Rajasthan's Churu reported the highest temperature at 50.5°C, followed by Sirsa in Haryana at 50.3°C. Punjab's Bhatinda and Uttar Pradesh's Jhansi also experienced extreme heat, reaching 49.3°C and 49.0°C respectively. The heatwave, coupled with low humidity levels, intensified in most parts of the region, posing health risks and prompting authorities to issue advisories.        

Heavy rain triggered by Cyclone Remal led to a tragic stone quarry collapse in Mizoram's Aizawl district, claiming 17 lives, including two minors, with several still missing. The incident occurred between Melthum and Hlimen on Aizawl's outskirts, hindering rescue efforts. Landslides elsewhere in the state compounded the situation, with at least two individuals swept away. Deputy Commissioner Nazuk Kumar affirmed ongoing search operations while Chief Minister Lalduhoma pledged Rs 4 lakh ex-gratia for victims' families. The calamity highlights the region's vulnerability to natural disasters exacerbated by adverse weather conditions.

Cyclone Remal wreaked havoc in Assam, leaving one dead and several injured. A 17-year-old boy was killed when a tree fell on his auto-rickshaw in Morigaon district. In Sonitpur, a tree fell on a school bus, injuring 12 children. Heavy rains and strong winds uprooted trees, disrupted power supply, and caused water-logging across the state. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma urged citizens to stay indoors and announced school closures in affected districts. The India Meteorological Department warned of continued heavy rainfall due to the cyclone.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts a decline in the ongoing heatwave from May 30, with above-normal monsoon rainfall expected across the country. IMD chief Mrutyunjay Mohapatra announced that the South West Monsoon rainfall is likely to be 106% of the long-period average, driven by favorable La Nina conditions anticipated between August and September. Severe heatwave warnings remain for northwest India over the next three days. The recent heatwave, attributed to a lack of rainfall and strong dry winds, will ease with approaching western disturbances and neutralizing El Nino conditions.

A study reveals escalating heat stress in major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, and Hyderabad, with diminishing nighttime cooling exacerbating discomfort. The analysis by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) indicates a surge in humidity levels, contributing to acute thermal discomfort and increased health risks. Urban expansion and high population density further hinder nighttime temperature relief, exacerbating heatwave impacts. With temperatures soaring, experts advocate reversing land use to enhance green cover, strengthening scientific monitoring, and developing city-specific heat management plans to mitigate the growing threat of heatwaves.

Cyclone Remal wreaks havoc across India and Bangladesh, claiming 16 lives and causing widespread power outages in West Bengal. With wind speeds reaching up to 135 kph, the cyclone made landfall near the Bay of Bengal, resulting in casualties and extensive damage to power infrastructure. Nearly three million people in Bangladesh and thousands in West Bengal are left without electricity, while authorities rush to provide relief and restore essential services. The cyclone's impact underscores the urgent need for disaster preparedness and resilience in vulnerable coastal regions.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts a severe heat wave across most parts of northwest and central India in June, with above-normal maximum temperatures expected. The southern peninsula may see normal to below-normal temperatures. Minimum temperatures will also be above-normal, except in extreme northern and some eastern and northeastern regions. The IMD cautions that heat waves pose significant health risks, especially to vulnerable populations. Authorities are urged to open cooling centers, issue advisories, and mitigate urban heat islands to protect public health.
