💨 Abstract

A study by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany, reveals that the intense heatwaves in India in March and April 2022 were caused by different atmospheric processes. The March heatwave was primarily driven by a sudden increase in the amplitude of short-lived Rossby waves, while the April heatwave was mainly due to very dry soil conditions and heat advection from neighboring regions.
