Heatwave Spell: IMD warns of heatwave spells in April | El Nino, La Nina | Oneindia

The seven-phase Lok Sabha polls season will witness an unprecedented rise in the heatwave in most parts of the country, the India Meteorological Department warned here on Monday.

While above-normal temperatures are likely almost all over the country, 10-20 days of heatwave is expected between April and June in different parts against normal of 4-8 days.

The most heatwave prone areas are Gujarat, central Maharashtra and north Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.

“More heatwave days are expected in an El Nino year.

The El Nino (an unusual rise of temperature in the Pacific Ocean with impacts all over the world) is still there in April-May even though it is receding and may become neutral by June,” Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, director general of meteorology at the IMD said.

What are El Nino and La Nina and how do they affect the weather conditions?

Delimitation Debate: What is Delimitation Exercise | Will it Strip Southern States of Power?

The upcoming delimitation exercise in India has ignited a fierce debate between the central government and southern states. The process, which involves redrawing Lok Sabha and state assembly constituencies based on population, could significantly impact the political representation of states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. With northern states experiencing higher population growth, delimitation may shift parliamentary seats in their favor, potentially reducing the South’s influence. Leaders like MK Stalin and Siddaramaiah are rallying against the move, calling it an unfair punishment for states that effectively controlled population growth. #Delimitation #SouthIndiaDelimitation #DelimitationDebate #NorthVsSouth #Delimitation2026 #DelimitationCommission #WhatIsDelimitation #DelimitationAct #LokSabhaDelimitation #DelimitationIndia #PoliticalRepresentation #SouthVsCentre #PopulationBasedSeats #IndianPolitics #FederalismDebate Also Read DMK Urges Centre To Use 1997 Population Data For Delimitation :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/dmk-urges-centre-to-use-1997-population-data-for-delimitation-4100993.html?ref=DMDesc Delimitation Rewards Population Growth, Punishes Control: DMK MP :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/delimitation-rewards-population-growth-punishes-control-dmk-mp-in-rajya-sabha-4098941.html?ref=DMDesc DMK Members Walk Out Of Lok Sabha Over Delimitation :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/dmk-members-walk-out-of-lok-sabha-over-delimitation-4097967.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.124~

Malibu Landslide | Heart-Stopping Video Shows Los Angeles Firefighter Swept Away Into Pacific Ocean

A terrifying video captures the heart-stopping moment a Los Angeles firefighter is swept off Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) by a massive Malibu Landslide and into the raging Pacific Ocean. Watch the terrifying Los Angeles Firefighter Swept Malibu Landslide. The footage, taken during Thursday’s catastrophic storm, shows the firefighter’s LAFD vehicle engulfed by a powerful debris flow near Big Rock Drive in Malibu, as torrents of mud, water, and rocks rush down the hillside. Miraculously, the firefighter managed to escape before being rescued and transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. The violent storm, fueled by an atmospheric river, has triggered deadly mudslides and flash floods across Los Angeles County, forcing the indefinite closure of PCH and leaving communities on edge. #MalibuLandslide #PacificCoastHighway #LAStorm #FirefighterRescue #ExtremeWeather #MudslideDisaster #CaliforniaFloods #BreakingNews #LAFD #StormAlert #WeatherEmergency #DisasterResponse #PCHClosed #ClimateCrisis #LosAngeles ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.194~GR.344~
