several reasons attributed to heat wave in East and SE India: Briefly 1. Lack of pre monsoon rains, 2. Non formation of the trough (LWD) in the central peninsula region...3. formation of INLAND trough in interior of east coast...4. Continuous flow of upper air WDs preventing the formation...5. WDs keeping extreme heat away from NW india.
As mentioned in "Flash Snippet", heat waves in Bengal (Kolkata) and Odisha can lessen from Tuesday.

http://www.wxmaps.org/pix/prec6.html is predicting good rains from may 2nd to may 10th. Not sure whether to believe it or not.

April 20th to May 10th have always been the core season for rains in bangalore during summer. Hope from early summer the usual summer rains come.

Muhammad Zohair..cooling trend of nino 1+2 is a indicator of cooling no doubt. And the main region for our concern to be observed is nino 3.4. But el nino is definitely cooling down and moving towards neutral by May/June.
