New Delhi (CNN) India is facing another record hot and potentially deadly summer. It will result in higher temperatures for longer periods of time and more potentially deadly heat waves. Moves taken since 2015 have paid off, said K. J. Ramesh, director general of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), pointing to a sharp drop in heat deaths in 2016, compared with the year before. But he warned that the apparently lower figures for heat deaths in 2016 were likely a result of "gross under-reporting." With temperatures already reaching 45 C in parts of India, and on the rise, the pressure is on to avoid another deadly summer.
