India is witnessing significant weather changes as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issues alerts for heavy rainfall in southern regions while temperatures soar in parts of northern India. The low-pressure area over the southwest Bay of Bengal is impacting the weather, primarily affecting the southern Tamil Nadu and southern Kerala areas. Districts in Kerala, such as Ernakulam, Kottayam, and Alappuzha, have reported substantial rainfall, being the most affected with Ernakulam registering over 70 mm of rain in certain areas.

Weather forecasts predict that temperatures in northwestern India will increase significantly, with expectations of a rise between 2 to 4 degrees Celsius in the coming days. By the end of February, many regions may witness temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. This sudden spike in temperature is likely to lead to a noticeable increase in heat levels, impacting daily life and activities in the area.

The contrasting weather patterns in India underscore the seasonal shifts experienced across the country, where the southern region is grappling with heavy monsoon-like conditions while the north braces for a heatwave. This divergence in weather not only presents challenges to local populations but also raises concerns about agricultural impacts and the broader implications for seasonal climate behavior across the subcontinent.
