North India to witness above normal temperatures this year: India Meteorological Department

New Delhi: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday said that there will be 'above normal' seasonal temperatures over north India from March to May.

The IMD stated this in a 'Seasonal Outlook' prepared for the sub-division averaged temperatures for the upcoming summer season from March to May.

Besides North India, there will be above normal seasonal maximum temperatures over sub-divisions of northwest and northeast India, few subdivisions from eastern and western parts of central India and few coastal subdivisions of north peninsular India, according to the National Weather Forecasting Centre of the IMD.

However, below normal seasonal maximum temperatures are likely over most of the sub-divisions of the south peninsula and adjoining central India, according to the 'Seasonal Outlook' report.
