IMD weather: In the next few days, the IMD predicts that maximum temperatures across many regions of India would rise by 2-4 degrees Celsius. Also, pointing out that 2024 was the hottest year ever

Imd Weather Alert in India: Over the next three to four days, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts that maximum (day) temperatures would gradually rise by 2-4 degrees Celsius across many regions of India. During the same time period, regions in northwest India can experience a more dramatic increase of up to 5 degrees Celsius. 

 

Over the following four to five days, day temperatures in central India and inland Maharashtra are expected to gradually increase, according to IMD. Over the following three days, maximum temperatures in Gujarat are predicted to rise by two to three degrees Celsius before falling by the same amount. Additionally, the government noted that coastal Gujarat may experience "hot and humid weather conditions" through March 25. 

IMD weather forecast: WMO calls for early warning systems

All UN members were urged by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) to improve the early warning systems across the globe. Despite tremendous progress in forecasting, WMO emphasised that availability of high-quality climatic and hydrological data, accuracy, and observation networks remain lacking.

 

Early warning systems, which can yield a roughly ten-fold return, are "necessities and sound investments," according to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who emphasized their significance. 

IMD weather 2025: Hottest year on record

The WMO just determined that, due to ocean warming and rapidly increasing sea levels, 2024 was the hottest year on record. Additionally, the organisation pointed out that long-term impacts could result from glacier retreat, melting ice, and more extreme weather events such strong tropical cyclones, heavy rainfall, storm surges, flooding, droughts, and wildfires.
