Le résumé fourni par la source

Meteorological conditions leading to the April 2026 India heatwave are up to 2°C warmer in the present than they were in the past. The most extreme heat conditions intensified by climate change have exposed about 43.94 million people and 341.13 billion USD of economic activity. This event is associated with very exceptional meteorological conditions. We mostly ascribe the increased heat to human-driven climate change, with natural climate variability likely playing a limited role.
