- A study by the Mahamana Centre of Excellence in Climate Change Research analysed future changes in heat wave characteristics over India for mid-term (2041-2060).
- It was also the study of the long-term (2081-2099) future under the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 emission scenarios respectively.
- The Northwestern, central and south-central India emerged as future heat wave hotspots with the largest increase in the south-central region.
- Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) are used to capture future trends on how concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will change in future as a result of human activities.
- In the RCP 4.5 scenario, emissions peak during the mid-century and decline at the end of the century.
- The RCP 8.5 is the highest baseline scenario in which emissions rise throughout the century.
