Many parts in north India have been reeling under a heatwave with the mercury touching 40 degrees Celsius-mark, especially in Rajasthan. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted another heatwave over the plains by April 3.

"April has just begun but considering the heat, it feels like May-June have arrived," news agency ANI quoted a local as saying in Rajasthan's Jodhpur.

"As per doctors' advice, we are consuming a lot of cool drinks like buttermilk to get through this weather," another local told .

The IMD has already warned that maximum temperatures in most parts of the country will be above normal between April and June. On Tuesday, it sounded a heatwave alert for parts of Telangana for the next three days.

As forecast, summer arrived early across many parts of India this year, as countrywide daytime mercury levels began their annual rise since the very beginning of March 2021. As per the latest outlook, several states—particularly those located in Northwest, West and Central India—will continue to endure warmer-than-normal daytime temperatures in the upcoming three-month period between April and June 2021. The sweltering forecast comes from the India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) seasonal outlook for the upcoming summer season.
