Above-normal maximum temperatures likely over most parts of India in November: IMD
• The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast above-normal maximum temperatures across most parts of India in November, except for regions along the Himalayan foothills where normal to below-normal temperatures are expected.
• Minimum temperatures are also predicted to be above normal in most areas, except in central and eastern India.
Impact & Risks
The warmer temperatures may lead to increased energy consumption for cooling and could exacerbate heat-related health issues. Below-normal rainfall could impact agricultural activities, particularly in regions dependent on monsoon rains for winter crops. Strong El Niño conditions may disrupt normal weather patterns, potentially causing prolonged dry spells and affecting water resources.
