Indian Ocean May Remain Hot Permanently

During India's sweltering summer, amidst nationwide general elections, authorities issue heat-related warnings. Simultaneously, global marine heat waves intensify. A study predicts the Indian Ocean will experience near-constant heat waves by 2050, with 220-250 days annually. Scientist Roxy Mathew Koll highlights potential consequences on cyclones, marine ecosystems, and coastal populations. Nearly 250 million people residing near the Indian coastline, including seven million reliant on fishing, face heightened risks from these developments.
