New study shows heatwaves to increase by two-fold in major Indian cities by 2030

As large parts of north India experience a record heat wave with a red alert in place, a new study has found that some of the country's biggest cities like Mumbai and Delhi will experience a two-fold increase in heatwave days by 2030.

The study says India is susceptible to extended heatwave conditions in the near future which will also trigger more erratic and incessant rainfall across the country.
