# Embracing the Heat: India's Summer Weather Outlook for 2024
Welcome to Meteora Weather Service's comprehensive guide to the summer season in India. As the country prepares for the warm months ahead, we bring you the latest insights into what you can expect from March to May.
## A Season of Warmth
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts that most parts of India will experience above-normal daytime temperatures¹. However, some isolated areas in the Northwest, Northeast, Central, and Peninsular India might enjoy normal to below-normal maximum temperatures.
## Heatwaves on the Horizon
An increase in heatwave days is anticipated across the country, sparing only Northeast India, the Southwest Peninsula, the Western Himalayan Region, and the western coast². Heatwaves are declared when the mercury spikes considerably above the regional average, so it's crucial to stay informed and prepared.
## Nighttime Temperatures
The countrywide minimum temperatures during the night are also expected to remain above normal in most parts². This could lead to warmer nights and a need for strategies to stay cool after sunset.
## The El Niño Effect
The El Niño phase, which typically brings warm and dry conditions across India, remains active with higher than normal sea surface temperatures over the equatorial Pacific. However, it is likely to weaken during the summer season and turn neutral thereafter².
## Monsoon Outlook
Looking ahead to the monsoon, the neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions persist, and forecasts indicate a continuation of these neutral IOD conditions during the upcoming season. A positive IOD phase is linked with enhanced precipitation over the Indian subcontinent, which will be a key factor to watch as the season progresses⁵.
## Preparing for Summer
As we gear up for another Indian summer, it's essential to stay hydrated, seek shade, and avoid outdoor activities during peak sun hours. Every measure counts in ensuring a comfortable summer experience for all.
