Why in news
North India will experience higher-than-normal temperatures in February, along with below-normal rainfall.
Wheat, mustard, and chickpea crops are likely to suffer, with wheat facing issues at the flowering and grain-filling stages, leading to potential yield loss.
Warmer temperatures may cause early bud break and flowering in crops like apples and temperate stone fruits, leading to poor fruit quality and yield.
States like Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan are most at risk
Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh may be less affected due to more favorable rainfall patterns.
