Jharkhand Sees 300% Rise in Annual Heatwave Days

Jharkhand Sees 300% Rise in Annual Heatwave Days

Imagine Jharkhand is a place that's getting much hotter, with heatwaves happening more often.

Over 35 years, there have been 590 days where it was extremely hot.

The number of these hot days has tripled!

Most of these hot days were in May.

The western part of Jharkhand gets hotter than the eastern part.

Experts think this is because of many reasons such as fewer trees, mining, more buildings, and air pollution.

This means the state is becoming much hotter and needs to find ways to help the people cope with this change.
