From March to April 24, a heatwave prevailed for 11 days in different districts of Jharkhand while it was only two days in Bihar, one in Odisha and only two days in Punjab.
The Center for Science and Environment (CSE) has released this report after analyzing the data received from the Indian Meteorological Department. It has been said that during this period the maximum heatwave has occurred
in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh in the whole country.
Heat wave has lasted for about 25-25 days in both the states. In Gujarat too, there has been a heat wave for 19 days. This time in Uttarakhand also the heat wave lasted for four days. In Uttar Pradesh too, heat wave has prevailed for 11 days.
According to meteorologists, if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees it is considered a heat wave (Loo). If the maximum temperature of a plain district exceeds 40 degree Celsius, then it is called heat wave. Apart from this, even when there is an increase in the maximum temperature from 4.5 to 6.4 degrees celsius above normal, it is called a heat wave. In case of temperature above 37 degree celsius in coastal districts, it is called heat wave.
