"Heat has become more intense in the past decade and is usually accompanied by severe water shortages, with tens of millions of India's 1.4 billion people lacking running water.

Climate experts say extreme heat in South Asia during the pre-monsoon season is becoming more frequent and the study found that extreme temperatures are now about 0.85 C hotter in the region because of climate change."

The monsoon rains normally bring relief to the India subcontinent. Even though the monsoons are forecast for a timely arrival and expected to bring above normal rainfall this year, it will take a few more weeks for it to reach the central parts of India.

See the map below from the IMD for current progress (blue lines) and normal dates (red lines) of monsoon arrival across India.
