Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala will experience the summer heatwave more during the coming days, weather experts said.
Weathermen predict that the mercury level may shoot from 37 to 40 degree celsius in Kochi and Thiruvanathapuram.
Meanwhile in places like Palakkad the heat has already reached a peak of 41.1 degree celsius.As a result of this 3 people died due to heat-stroke.
The factors for soaring temperature are the hike in the number of skyscrapers, increased number of vehicles on roads and continued cutting of trees.
However, this time, the El Nino phenomenon formed in the Pacific ocean has also contributed to the rise of temperature in Kerala.
There is no respite until the monsoon arrives in last week of May or early June, weather experts said.
