Heat wave has emerged as a major severe-weather event around the globe in recent years. Climate change is driving temperatures higher as well as increasing the frequency and severity of heat waves. India too is experiencing increased instances of heat waves every year – 23 States were affected by heat waves in 2019, up from 19 states in 2018.

Many cities recorded all-time high temperatures, exceeding 45 degrees Celsius in some of the worst-affected states this year. The NDMA has been working closely with vulnerable states to reduce the adverse impacts of heat wave.
