From now until the end of March 2016, the maximum temperature anomalies will be less than what has been experienced in March until the 24th.
The India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) numerical weather prediction service has however shown that maximum temperatures will still be above normal by 1 to 3 Celsius over most of central and northern India between 25 and 31 March.
We find that when read with the minimum temperature anomalies, most of peninsular, central and northern India have in March experienced an upward shift in overall temperatures by 1 to 3 Celsius. The meteorological sub-divisions of Telengana, Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra Pradesh in particular stand out for higher minimum temperatures.
Over the last week, maximum temperatures were markedly above normal (5.1° C or more) at most places over West Rajasthan; at many places over Uttarakhand and East Rajasthan; at a few places over Gujarat and at isolated places over Madhya Pradesh; appreciably above normal (3.1°C to 5.0°C) at most places over Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi; at many places over Punjab, rest Gujarat and West Madhya Pradesh.
Maximum temperatures were also appreciably above normal at a few places over Madhya Maharashtra and at isolated places over Marathawada, Vidarbha and Kerala; above normal (1.6°C to 3.0°C) at most places over Rayalaseema and West Uttar Pradesh; at many places over Tamil Nadu, Interior Karnataka, East Madhya Pradesh, and the north-eastern states.
