India is at significant risk of heat-related fatalities due to the extreme temperatures driven by the 'Super El Niño'. Vulnerable populations, particularly those in urban areas and regions with limited access to cooling or healthcare, are likely to be the most affected. The heatwave could also strain resources, including water and energy supplies, while increasing the risk of food insecurity. The broader impacts of El Niño, such as droughts and wildfires, may further compound the challenges faced by communities across the country.
