News18 Hindi · india

A climate tracker estimates that India could face approximately 55,000 additional heat-related deaths between October and March due to a super El Niño event. While not an official government alert, the projection is based on climate and health predictions. The World Meteorological Organization has identified this year's El Niño as the strongest since 1950. This natural climate phenomenon can alter weather patterns, potentially increasing risks of drought, floods, and extreme heat globally. The tracker's findings aim to help policymakers identify vulnerable areas and implement preventative measures to save lives.
