The year 2024 has been recorded as the warmest year in India since 1901, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The national temperature average exceeded all previous records, underscoring the growing impact of climate change on the country.
IMD data revealed that the annual mean land surface temperature in 2024 was significantly above normal. This spike surpassed the previous record set in 2016, which was driven by the El Niño phenomenon and global warming trends.
