Abstract
Heat wave conditions from 17 May to 1 June 2015 caused deaths of over 2000 people, especially in the south Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and neighbouring Telangana. This study comprises the analysis of synoptic features associated with this deadly heat wave. It was found that the presence of large amplitude anticyclonic flow in the upper levels, above normal 500 hPa height values, above normal lower tropospheric temperatures, below normal precipitable water and higher outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) values are major factors associated with the occurrences of heat wave.
