Summer temperatures in NorthWest, Central and parts of NorthEast India are likely to be higher than normal, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). This implies a continuing trend of heatwaves and elevated temperatures that have been characteristic of much of March in north and west India.
“During April, normal to above normal minimum temperatures are likely over most parts of NorthWest, Central and NorthEast India. Normal to below normal minimum temperatures are likely over the south peninsular India, eastern parts of central India and extreme southern part of NorthEast India,” the agency said in a statement on Thursday.
