Extreme Heatwave Grips Northern India
北印度遭遇極端熱浪侵襲
Northern India is currently facing an intense, early-season heatwave that is testing the limits of its residents.
北印度目前正面臨一場劇烈的早季熱浪，考驗著居民的承受極限。
As of late April 2026, cities across Delhi-NCR, Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan are seeing temperatures soar between 40°C and 45°C.
截至2026年4月末，德里首都區(Delhi-NCR)、旁遮普邦、哈里亞邦及拉賈斯坦邦各地氣溫飆升至40°C至45°C之間。
Unlike typical seasonal cycles where peak heat arrives in May or June, this extreme weather has arrived early, exacerbated by dry continental air and the notorious 'Loo' winds.
與巔峰熱浪通常出現在5月或6月的季節循環不同，這種極端天氣提前到來，並因乾燥的大陸氣團及臭名昭著的「Loo」熱風而更加嚴重。
While the North swelters, the rest of the country experiences contrasting heavy rain and storms, highlighting a sharp divide in national weather.
當北方酷熱難耐之際，國家其餘地區卻經歷強降雨和風暴，凸顯了全國天氣的劇烈分歧。
Climate experts warn that this pattern is part of a growing trend linked to climate change, where heat spells occur earlier and last longer.
氣候專家警告稱，這種模式是與氣候變遷相關的增長趨勢的一部分，熱浪的出現時間變早，持續時間也變長。
