The temperature conditions in the southern half of the country had a much stronger climate change influence .
The fingerprint of climate change is especially apparent along both coasts. In coastal areas, 37°C is commonly used as a threshold for dangerous heat. This temperature occurs throughout most of the country, including along the eastern coast. Thirty-six out of 51 major cities had three or more days above 37 degrees Celsius since the start of the election season (April 19-April 30), and 18 cities had more than three days above 40 degrees Celsius

Will India be uninhabitable by 2035? Richard Mahapatra https://www.downtoearth.org.in/climate-change/will-india-be-uninhabitable-by-2035 18 Jul 2024
A critical new report by the UN has revealed some staggering statistics and forecasts about forced displacement and climate change . one such study: “Scientists projected that over the coming 50 years, up to three billion people could be living well outside climate conditions (and particularly temperature) that have served humanity over the past 6,000 years, and worse, that by 2070, absent climate mitigation or migration, certain regions—Northern South America, central Africa, India and northern Australia—could simply become too hot to allow human life.” Future of the human climate niche https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1910114117
In the current climate emergency, reports are already showing evidence of internal migration caused by extreme climatic events. Whether these are precursors to a planetary movement of humans will only be established much later.
