Monsoons have usually meant respite from the heat of summer months but increasingly temperatures during the monsoon months — June to September — are seeing a rise, says an analysis by environment group Centre for Science and Environment going by the weather data they made public on Thursday.
At an all-India level, average temperatures during the monsoon season (June, July, August and September) are now 0.3°C higher than average summer temperatures (March, April, May) when compared from 1951-80. In the last decade, 2012-2021, this anomaly has risen to 0.4 C.
