In such a situation, a report related to climate change has warned that in the next five years, i.e. by 2030, the number of heat wave days in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Surat, Thane, Hyderabad, Patna, Bhubaneswar will double. A study by IPE Global and ISRI India has claimed an increase in hot days. According to the report, due to prolonged heat wave conditions, rainfall is also likely to be more frequent, erratic and frequent. According to the study, in the last three decades (between 1993 and 2024), there has been a 15-fold increase in the number of extreme heat days in India in the months of March-April-May and June-July-August-September. There has been a 19-fold increase in extreme heat days in the last decade. India is experiencing summer-like conditions, except for days when there is no rain during the monsoon. The study says that by 2030, there is a possibility of a 43% increase in extreme rainfall events in India. Due to this, most parts of the country will become hotter and wetter. By 2030, eight out of 10 districts in India will face the devastation of extreme rainfall. There has been a huge increase in the frequency of such events in recent decades.
