Lingering Impact of 'Super' El Niño: Largest Heat Effect May Still Lie Ahead

The lingering impact of a 'super' El Niño may still be felt, with the largest heat effect possibly yet to come. June ended with rainfall about 40% below normal, making it India's fifth-driest June since record-keeping began. The El Niño phenomenon has had a significant impact on India's monsoon, with the country experiencing below-normal rainfall in recent months. The 'super' El Niño has been particularly severe, with its effects still being felt in the region. The Indian Meteorological Department has warned of a possible heatwave in the coming weeks, with temperatures expected to soar. The heatwave is likely to affect several states in the country, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh.
