New Delhi: This year, people may have to face severe heat in the beginning of summer. The Meteorological Department has said that the summer season in India is likely to have a very hot start this year and El Nino conditions are expected to persist throughout the season. Above normal heat has been predicted in many parts of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Odisha.

The temperature is likely to be above normal after the second week in the month of March. There is little possibility of heatwave in North and Central India in the month of March. According to IMD, due to the impact of El Nino being less this year, monsoon will arrive on time and there is a possibility of more rain this year compared to last year.
Generally, in many states of the country, severe heat starts from the month of May, but this time the entry of heat is going to happen early. Weather experts say that there will be a sudden increase in temperature after March 15. Higher than normal temperatures will be recorded in the last week of March. In the beginning of March, the temperature in many other states including Maharashtra is close to 40 degrees Celsius. In the first week of April, the maximum temperature in some states of North India can reach near 40 degrees Celsius. There is a possibility of severe heat in some southern states this month. The minimum temperature will also increase.
The Meteorological Department has said that this time the monsoon will come on time and will be normal. The current El Nino will weaken in June. After this, La Nina conditions may arise during July and August. Due to this, it is being estimated that this year there may be more rain during monsoon than last year. El Nino is generally associated with drought and poor monsoon in the country while La Nina is associated with above average rainfall and cold.
