As global warming impacts local weather patterns, India faces intensified heat waves, notably during the pre-monsoon season. Anticyclones over the North Indian Ocean exacerbate these heat waves, influenced by the Indian Easterly Jet and westerly jet. The persistence of these anticyclones, possibly amplified by global warming, prolongs and intensifies heat waves. Early-warning systems, employing a ‘ready-set-go’ approach, aid disaster preparedness, crucial for mitigating heat-related risks during India’s summer months. While progress is evident, enhancing resilience and prediction accuracy remains imperative for effective disaster management and sustainable development.
