India Records Warmest February Ever; IMD Warns of Severe Heatwaves from March to May

SMEs and Large Corporations are now interested in areas like India where internet penetration is high. SMEs’ objectives in developing markets differ from large enterprises, and because of the large, underserved populations, firms now see growth potential in a wider geographical location. For instance, India has a potential market size of around 594 million people. Fortune 1000 firms now consider these countries to be important targets for investments.

Temperature across regions is on the rise 

February has broken records for night temperatures globally, reaching its highest mark since 1901. Daytime temperatures also broke records coming second highest on the chart. Among the country’s four homogeneous spaces, central India recorded its warmest February on record. South India ranked third, Northwest India came in fifth and East and Northeast India experienced their ninth warmest February. 

Mean temperature for the period was 24.6 degrees centigrade in central India, 26.75 degrees centigrade in southern, 20.14 degrees centigrade in the East and Northeast, and 17.11 degrees centigrade in the Northwest. 

Part of Northern Europe and Central Asia forecasted increases over normal temperature abnormalities during March but especially stands out is the forecast for significant anomalies in the East Northern Europe requiring physical attention towards seventeen degrees centigrade. Instead of simply blowing over Europe with considerably higher than normal temperatures, it seems at least the rest is in question. Pai stated, and the forecast confirms that March is likely to bring warmer than average temperature across the rest of undivided India except for the two coastal most southern regions who can expect a tad lower than usual maximum temperature.

The month is likely to witness a surge in the number of heatwave days, especially for central India, adjacent northern regions of the southern peninsula, and certain sections of northwest and eastern India. The IMD has forecasted that heatwaves are extremely hazardous and require careful attention, especially for sensitive populations like the elderly, children, and those suffering from other health problems. These groups are at risk for overexposure to the sun, further straining the already burdened infrastructure.
