Temperatures—maximum, minimum, or mean—hit a record every month since last April, except for March this year, across India or in some parts of it, according to data from the India Meteorological Department's monthly climate summaries, an indication of how the climate crisis has impacted all seasons.

NEW DELHI:

Thus, April 2024 saw south peninsular India and east and northeast India record the second highest mean and highest mean temperatures respectively since 1901, when records begin.

May saw east and northeast India and northwest India record their third highest mean and maximum temperatures.

June saw northwest India record its highest maximum temperature and east and northeast India, highest minimum temperatures.

July saw the entire country record the second highest mean temperature and east and northeast India, highest maximum temperature. Northwest India also recorded its second highest minimum temperature in the month.

August, September, and October saw the entire country record its highest minimum temperatures. November saw northwest India record its highest maximum temperature and December saw south peninsular India do the same.

In 2025, January saw the entire country record its third highest maximum temperature. February was worse, and the entire country recorded its highest maximum temperature. March brought a much-needed respite, but with the infamous Indian summer ahead, the month may just serve to heighten the contrast.
