Climate change is an ongoing phenomenon, and countries in the South Asia are most impacted.
Amid a rain shortfall, India recorded the highest average temperature for August, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
"All India's average mean and maximum temperatures in August 2023 were the record highest since 1901 and minimum temperature was second highest," IMD tweeted.
In August this year, the country witnessed a roughly 36 percent deficit in rainfall, recording 162.7 mm of rain against the average of 254.9 mm for the month.
Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, Director General at the IMD, recently told Sputnik India that the El Nino impact was seen on the Indian monsoon in August.
However, experts suggest the
monsoon rain will pick up from September 4 and rainfall will cover up the deficit.
Delhi Sees Hottest September Day 85 Years
Meanwhile, Delhi’s maximum temperature on Monday was recorded at 40.1 degrees Celsius, making it the hottest September day in the last 85 years.
This was six degrees above the season’s average.
On 16 September 1938, Delhi recorded a temperature of 40.6 degrees Celsius, an
all-time maximum for the month.
August was the month when Delhi experienced the most rainfall. However, the city recorded a 61 percent deficit in rainfall. There has been no rain in September.
