India is about to be gripped by a harsh heatwave as temperatures rise up to 44C towards the end of the month of April in 2026. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning as per which an intensification of summer-like conditions will make Vidarbha region hot and uncomfortable, without any hope of respite.
The heat levels are expected to go above 44C, and hence there is going to be an “Extreme Heat Warning” for the Vidarbha region till April 27.
According to the IMD, temperatures are projected to be 4 to 5C above average in multiple states. This rapid rise in temperature will be brought about by dry, clear weather conditions and westerly winds blowing in the country. Nights will not see any drop in temperatures either as they will be warm enough to prevent people from recovering after the day.
States/regions facing heatwaves will include:
- North India Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan.
- Central & East India Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha.
- West India Maharashtra (particularly Vidarbha).
