As the summer of 2025 begins, Andhra Pradesh is bracing for an intense heat wave that has already started affecting large parts of the state. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued forecasts indicating that most regions, including Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema, will experience above-normal temperatures and an increased number of heat wave days during the March to May period[1][2]. The Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) has issued specific warnings for 58 mandals across the state, emphasizing severe heat conditions that are expected to intensify in April and May[5].
Heat waves are a recurring phenomenon in summer, characterized by prolonged periods of abnormally hot weather, which can significantly impact public health and infrastructure. Andhra Pradesh has been particularly vulnerable, recording 27 heat wave days in 2024 and 21 in 2023, making it the region with the highest number of heatwave days in south India both years[3]. This year, the IMD has forecasted a continuation of this trend, with Rayalaseema expected to see up to four heat wave days in April, and the coastal areas experiencing one to two such days[3].
Heat waves pose significant risks to human health, including heat strokes that can be fatal if not addressed promptly. Although there were no heat-related fatalities reported in Andhra Pradesh in 2024, the state experienced three heat-related deaths in 2023[3].
The expected rise in temperatures will lead to an increase in electricity demand, potentially up to 10%, due to higher usage of air conditioning systems[3]. This increased demand could strain power grids and impact the economy by increasing energy costs.
Heat waves also highlight environmental issues like drought and water scarcity. While certain parts of Andhra Pradesh are expected to receive above-normal rainfall in March, the overall impact of heat waves on water resources and agricultural productivity remains a concern[1][2].
Mitigating the Effects of Heat Waves:
As Andhra Pradesh faces one of its most severe heat wave seasons in recent years, the focus on preparedness and mitigation is more crucial than ever. By understanding the forecasts, taking necessary precautions, and implementing effective strategies to combat the heat, residents can reduce the risks associated with these extreme temperatures. The state's approach to managing heat waves will be closely watched, as it sets an example for other regions facing similar challenges.
With climate change increasingly influencing weather patterns, the management of heat wave events will become a key component of disaster management strategies in the future. The response to these conditions will not only save lives but also underscore the importance of sustainable practices to mitigate the impacts of global warming on local ecosystems.
