India’s weather agency, the IMD, forecasts above-normal maximum temperatures across most of the country in November, while expecting normal to below-normal maximum temperatures in some regions along the Himalaya foothills. It also projects above-normal minimum temperatures for most of India, with exceptions in many parts of central and eastern India.
On rainfall, the IMD expects below-normal precipitation over most regions during November, except for some areas in central, northwest and north-east India where rainfall is forecast to be normal to above-normal. The IMD indicates India as a whole is likely to receive about 77% of its Long Period Average (LPA) rainfall for the month. It also cites LPA figures for South Peninsular India.
Outlets broadly align on the headline expectations—warmer temperatures and drier-than-usual conditions in most areas—while the Economic Times adds more specific details about LPA rainfall and the current climate backdrop. The Hindu focuses on the core temperature and rainfall pattern described by the IMD, repeating the key forecast elements without extending into additional context.
