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.
