The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday said temperatures are expected to rise by 2 degrees Celsius over most parts of northwest, west, central and east India over the next five days.
Maximum temperatures across many parts of Central India and the north peninsular region are below normal by 2-6 degrees Celsius, the IMD said in its daily bulletin. The western Himalayan region and areas along the west coast are experiencing temperatures that are above normal by 2-4 degrees Celsius. The rest of the country is experiencing near-normal temperatures.
The maximum temperature is expected to gradually rise by 2-4 degrees Celsius over most parts of northwest, west, central, and east India during the next five days, becoming near normal over most parts of the country, it said.
