2026年3月初，印度經歷了一場極其早發且強烈的熱浪，氣溫比平均值高出8°C至13°C。
In early March 2026, India experienced an unusually premature and intense heatwave, with temperatures climbing 8°C to 13°C above average.
氣象專家指出多項成因，包括冬季降雨匱乏，以及稱為「西風擾動」(ㄒㄧㄈㄥㄖㄠˇㄉㄨㄥˋ)的氣候系統減弱。
Meteorological experts point to several causes, including a lack of winter rainfall and weak weather systems known as Western Disturbances.
大氣高壓反氣旋更進一步鎖住了熱能，使即便是西姆拉這類高海拔地區的氣溫也顯著上升。
Atmospheric anticyclones further trapped heat, causing temperatures to rise significantly even in high-altitude areas like Shimla.
由於缺乏適應熱浪的緩衝期，公共衛生面臨風險，農民則在設法挽救免受熱逆境損害的小麥與芥菜作物。
Public health is at risk due to a lack of acclimatization, while farmers struggle to save wheat and mustard crops from heat stress.
專家警告，由於氣候變遷，這些提早發生的熱浪正逐漸成為「新常態」。
Experts warn that these early-onset heatwaves are becoming the 'new normal' due to climate change.
