Met Dept warns India faces another election heatwave

India is facing its second heatwave in three weeks, including in areas where millions are set to vote in the six-week election. Analysts attribute a dip in turnout to widespread expectations of Prime Minister Narendra Modi winning a third term and hotter-than-average temperatures heading into the summer. The latest round of voting in the seven-phase election will take place on Monday, with temperatures expected to be 2-3 degrees Celsius above normal.
