High-altitude winds during summers shifted northwards, worsening heatwaves in north, study finds

A study by IIT Bombay reveals that high-altitude winds have shifted northwards, worsening heatwaves in north central India. This shift, along with rising temperatures, accounts for more frequent and severe heatwaves since 1998. Incorporating these wind patterns in climate models can help predict heatwaves more accurately, aiding in better forecasts and planning.
