A statement from the IMD stated, “The upcoming hot weather season is expected to have the above normal sub divisional average seasonal temperatures over most of the meteorological subdivisions of the country except the subdivisions of Eastern, East central and Southern parts for the Country that are likely to experience slightly below normal seasonal temperatures.”

The Southern states’ temperature has been recorded at cloudy with chance of rain. The rain is likely to continue for 24 hours according to IMD in all the states including Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The previous year has been recorded by the IMD as the hottest summer in country’s history.
