Record Heat in October 2024: India’s Hottest Month
October 2024 marked India’s hottest October since records began, with Delhi experiencing its warmest month since 1951 and no rainfall. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported a 76% drop in rainfall due to the absence of western disturbances, which typically provide winter precipitation. Global warming, high humidity, and lingering monsoon moisture contributed to these temperature spikes. This trend is part of broader climate changes affecting various countries, including Japan and Pakistan, and raises concerns about increasingly frequent humid heatwaves. The extreme temperatures in October highlight the need for urgent climate action to mitigate global warming and its interconnected impacts.
