Climate change responsible for scorching heat in Indo-Pak? World Meteorological Organization said this thing

There is a severe heat wave in many parts of India and Pakistan. The Meteorological Department of both the countries has issued a heat wave warning in many areas. Every year the ever-increasing heat was being told as the effect of climate change. Meanwhile, the World Meteorological Organization, the United Nations’ special agency on weather, has refuted this claim by issuing a statement. The WMO has said that it is too early to blame climate change entirely for the extreme heat in both the countries.

India and Pakistan in the grip of heat wave
The World Meteorological Organization said that the period of severe summer is in line with the changing season, in which heat wave starts already. Many parts of India and Pakistan are facing severe heatwave, affecting lakhs of people. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the maximum temperature reached 43-46 degrees Celsius in many areas on April 28 and the scorching heat is expected to continue till May 2. At the same time, the Pakistan Meteorological Department said that the day temperature is expected to be a few degrees above normal in many areas of the country.

Too early to blame climate change
The WMO said it was too early to blame climate change alone for the extreme heat in India and Pakistan. The period of scorching heat is in line with the changing season, in which heat wave starts already. The global body said that the national meteorological, hydrological departments, health and disaster management agencies in both countries are working together to prepare a plan to deal with the heat.

Mercury will rise further in May
The WMO said heatwaves not only have a huge impact on human health, but also on ecosystems, agriculture, water and energy supplies and key sectors of the economy. During the pre-monsoon period, both India and Pakistan will see regular extremely high temperatures, especially in May.
