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.
