As citizens swelter under the summer sun, here’s a bit of good news from the India Meteorological Department (IMD): a major part of the southern peninsula will experience normal to below normal temperatures in April.
At a virtual press conference on Thursday, M. Mohapatra, Director General of Meteorology, IMD, said Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Andhra Pradesh and Southern Telangana will have below normal to normal temperatures. This would be mainly because of thunderstorm activity in the southern region, he added.
This is in contrast to northwest and central India, and some parts of the northeast, where maximum temperatures are likely to be above normal.
