flag Unusually high temperatures in March threaten India's record wheat and rapeseed harvest, risking food security and exports.

flag India faces an unusually hot March, with temperatures potentially up to 7°C above normal in major wheat and rapeseed-growing states, threatening crop yields despite record planting. flag The heat, especially during critical grain-filling stages, could undermine a hoped-for record harvest, impacting exports and food security. flag The India Meteorological Department is set to release its official forecast, but early data shows highs may exceed 40°C by late March, increasing electricity demand and raising concerns similar to 2022, when a heatwave led to a wheat export ban.
