India is likely to see above-normal maximum and minimum temperatures in most parts of the country in the March to May period, IMD director-general Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said at a press conference. Heatwave conditions are not expected over north and central India in March, he said.
Lok Sabha elections are likely to be held in April-May.
Mohapatra said that the prevailing El Niño conditions — the periodic warming of waters in the central Pacific Ocean — will continue through the summer season and neutral conditions are likely to develop thereafter.
La Niña conditions — generally associated with good monsoon rainfall in India — are likely to set in by the second half of the monsoon season.
