The humidity impedes the body's natural cooling through sweat evaporation, making conditions dangerously uncomfortable.

The results showed contaminants like organic carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, and sediment can degrade water quality for up to eight years after a fire.

The IMD has forecast a generally cloudy sky over the next few days, with light to moderate rain, thunderstorms and lightning expected.

The phenomenon, described by meteorologists as a ridge of high-pressure air in the upper atmosphere, traps hot air and keeps cooler air at bay.

In India, much of the wedding-related food waste is due to oversized buffets, inaccurate guest estimates, and a general lack of awareness about food donation.

The submarines that operate in silence under the ocean are becoming difficult to detect, and climate change is to blame.

This development comes as a relief to many, especially farmers awaiting crucial rainfall for sowing, but also brings warnings of heavy downpours and persistent heatwave conditions in select areas.

Global surface temperatures last month averaged 1.4 degrees Celsius higher than in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period, when humans began burning fossil fuels on an industrial scale, C3S said.

The study estimates that the frequency of extreme rainfall events could rise by as much as 43% over current levels, driven by microclimatic changes and local drivers such as land-use change, deforestation.

This year's ICDRI, themed 'shaping a resilient future for coastal regions', is the first to be held in Europe and is co-hosted by the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) and the French government.

The breakthrough isn't limited to climate science. The equations could enhance medical imaging techniques, such as ultrasound or MRI, which rely on interpreting how waves scatter inside the body.

An unprecedented number of cyclones, which experts have attributed to climate change, also caused havoc in the Philippines in October and November.
