A 2022 study said the risk of heatwaves is likely to increase 10 times in the 21st century. Over 70 per cent of India's land area may face severe heatwaves.
Data shows that 12 of the warmest years in India have occurred since 2006, with 2016 being the hottest year so far.

It’s important to prioritise your kids' safety by adopting a few key precautions to keep them healthy and happy during the transition in weather.

Safety tips to keep your kids away from flu and cold during this season change

<h2>It&rsquo;s important to prioritise your kids' safety by adopting a few key precautions to keep them healthy and happy during the transition in weather.</h2>

As seasons shift, people tend to fall sick. Kids are especially vulnerable to changes in weather and it&rsquo;s important to prioritise their safety by adopting a few key precautions to keep them healthy during these transitions.&nbsp;
Safety Precautions: Weather change can bring various health risks such as flu, colds, or even heat-related issues like dehydration. Ensuring that kids are dressed appropriately for the weather is a fundamental step. Layering clothes in cold weather helps retain body heat. Encouraging regular hand washing and maintaining hygiene during flu seasons also significantly reduces the risk of illnesses spreading.&nbsp;
Diet for Changing Seasons: A balanced diet plays a vital role in strengthening a child&rsquo;s immune system during weather changes. Focus on providing nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains that boost immunity. Citrus fruits, rich in vitamin C, can protect kids from cold and flu. In summer, offering hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and yogurt keeps children refreshed and prevents dehydration.&nbsp;
Staying Active and Hydrated: Physical activity is essential regardless of the weather. However, during cold seasons, it&rsquo;s better to minimise your child&rsquo;s exposure to the outdoor environment to avoid infection, pollutants and flu allergens. Hydration is also critical year-round. Always remind kids to drink plenty of water and rest well.&nbsp;
By adopting these safety measures and supporting them with the right diet, we can ensure that children thrive in any weather condition.&nbsp;

Meteorologists had warned of extensive damage to standing crops, houses, roads, electricity and communication poles, and flooding of escape routes.
Hugh tides could inundate low-lying areas of Saurashtra and Kutch coasts, they said.&nbsp;

Delhi's homeless population struggling to keep warm in bone-chilling cold weather and home shelter set up by the government in shambles making it even worse.

Shivering Delhi’s homeless struggling to survive

Delhi's homeless population struggling to keep warm in bone-chilling cold weather and home shelter set up by the government&nbsp;in shambles making it even worse.

When midnight approaches in Delhi and a freezing fog settles over the Indian capital, thousands of homeless people spread torn mattresses and blankets on the streets to keep warm.
Those who can&rsquo;t afford blankets spend the night around a smoldering fire, burning garbage and discarded cardboard boxes. Others hunker down in a government shelter system.
It&rsquo;s a scene that repeats itself every year when India&rsquo;s capital experiences a harsh winter, blamed for killing scores of homeless people and leaving tens of thousands of others shivering on the streets.
Recently, New Delhi recorded a low of 5.5 degrees Celsius (41.9 Fahrenheit), with India&rsquo;s weather forecasting agency warning of a severe cold wave from Monday.
The piercing chill is an ordeal for the city&rsquo;s homeless, who curl their bodies on sidewalks and sleep as the traffic goes by. Even though the city&rsquo;s night shelters are a refuge to many who would otherwise find themselves sleeping near busy roundabouts and underpasses, most people there live in harsh conditions.
Many of the night shelters are overcrowded and have unclean toilets and no water.
India&rsquo;s 2011 census figures show about 47,000 of the city&rsquo;s residents were homeless.
Activists say that number is a vast underestimate and that New Delhi has more than 150,000 without permanent residences to sleep in.
Official figures also show the city&rsquo;s 195 homeless shelters can accommodate only about 19,000 people, leaving tens of thousands struggling to keep warm.

<h3>Sip water throughout the day</h3>
Drink more water than usual when the weather gets hot, especially if you are active throughout the day. If the water tastes boring to you, flavour it. Infuse it with citrus fruits, spices and condiments to make hydration fun for you.
<h3>Add seeds to your water</h3>
Sweet basil and chia seeds absorb four times their dry weight in water and provide minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins. Add these tiny seeds to your water or smoothies and stay hydrated for a longer time.
<h3>Choose natural beverages&nbsp;</h3>
Coconut water, buttermilk, and lemon water are always better choices to hydrate and nourish your body than packaged, sugar-loaded, carbonated beverages.
<h3>Consume seasonal fruits and veggies</h3>
Fruits and veggies contain a lot of water along with a whole bunch of nutrients that benefit us. Consume veggies with a higher water content like cucumber, zucchini, lettuce, and tomatoes. High water content fruits include oranges, pineapple, watermelon and muskmelon.
A proper hydration strategy will help you perform your best and prevent cramping or heat strokes.

The meteorological department has issued a yellow alert, warning of thundershowers and gusty winds towards Wednesday afternoon or evening in the national capital.
The Safdarjung Observatory, the city's base station, recorded a minimum temperature of 29.4 degrees Celsius, two notches above normal. The maximum temperature is predicted to settle around 40 degrees Celsius.
On Tuesday, a cloud cover had cocooned Delhi, causing the maximum temperature at the Safdarjung Observatory to drop below 40 degrees Celsius for the first time this month.
Consecutive western disturbances and lower-level easterlies predicted in the coming days are likely to keep the heat at bay.
The India Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert, warning of thundershowers or light rain over the next six days. The mercury is predicted to drop to 35 degrees Celsius by Sunday.
Since June 1, when the monsoon season starts, the national capital has not recorded any rainfall. Usually, it receives 13.8 mm of rainfall in the first 13 days of the month.
Mahesh Palawat, vice-president (climate change and meteorology), Skymet Weather, said the monsoon is expected to arrive in Delhi around the usual date -- June 27 -- or a day or two in advance.
Last year, the IMD had forecast that the monsoon would arrive in Delhi nearly two weeks before its usual date. However, it reached the capital only on July 13, making it the most delayed in 19 years.
Palawat said there is a very slim chance of heatwave conditions returning to Delhi now. The weather will become clear after June 21 and dry westerly winds will commence but a steep rise in temperature is not predicted.
The capital has recorded a maximum temperature of 42 degrees Celsius and above on 26 days so far this summer season, the highest number of such days since 2012, according to IMD data.
In 2012, the city recorded a maximum temperature of 42 degrees Celsius or above on 30 days. The number of such days was 35 in 2010, the highest in the 1951-2022 period, the data showed.
The city has seen six heatwave spells this summer, the deadliest being in mid-May when the maximum temperature soared to 49 degrees Celsius at some places.
The latest heatwave spell began on June 2 amid the absence of strong western disturbances and an onslaught of hot and dry westerly winds. 

Rain relief for Delhi: thundershowers likely on Wednesday; heatwave unlikely to return, says expert

It's hot, it's windy, it's rainy and then it's cold. What is up with the weather in India?
Assam is experiencing a devastating that has left over 7 lakh affected. Two dams in Kerala were opened as the waters reached alarm levels while normal life was affected in several districts of the coastal state.
North India, meanwhile, witnessed punishing heat with temperatures lingering around 45 degrees celsius in many states mid-March onwards.
Then, one Monday morning, rains hit, leaving trees uprooted, and delaying over a hundred flights.
All this before the beginning of the official monsoon season. 
While the overall change in climate can be pegged to the phenomenon, the rains have been attributed to unusually heavy pre-monsoon showers. According to experts, climate change accounts for more and more concentrated rain and heavy episodes of rainfall. 
Researchers are now investigating how much human-caused climate change contributed to the extreme weather episodes. But scientists have long warned that more frequent and more extreme heatwaves are some of the most direct consequences of rising global average temperatures.
Climate change is already rendering parts of the world unlivable, and in South Asia, survival now depends on artificial cooling. That cooling demands power. 
To find a solution to the problem, India will need to move away from coal and find a greener alternative, according to experts.
