✅ A heatwave is a period of abnormally high temperatures, a common phenomenon in India during the months of May-June and in some rare cases even extends till July.
✅ Heatwaves have multiple and cascading impact on human health, ecosystems, agriculture, energy, water and economy. It also triggered an extreme Glacial Lake Outburst Flood in northern Pakistan.
✅ Under the National Monsoon Mission, the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) had established an advanced prediction system for early warnings of heatwaves. IMD has the capability to predict the genesis, duration and intensity of heatwave events with reasonable accuracy up to four-five days in advance.
