Below-Normal Max Temperatures Expected in Most of India in November
The weather department is predicting that November will be cooler than usual in most of India when it comes to daytime temperatures.
However, some areas in the north and east, as well as parts of the south, might experience warmer days.
At night, most of the country is expected to be warmer than usual, with some parts of the northwest being an exception.
For rain, most places will likely get normal or more rain, but the northwest and southern areas might see less rain.
This prediction is based on current weather patterns in the Pacific Ocean, like a weak La Nina.
India had a very rainy October, with many storms contributing to the high rainfall.
Most of India is expected to have below-normal maximum temperatures in November.
Above-normal minimum temperatures are forecast for most regions, except parts of northwest India.
The western Himalayan region, Himalayan foothills, northeast India, and parts of the southern peninsula may see above-normal maximum temperatures.
Normal to above-normal rainfall is predicted for most of the country, with below-normal expected in some parts of northwest and southern India.
Weak La Nina conditions are currently prevailing in the Pacific Ocean, influencing the weather forecast.
