April weather forecast
India

April signifies the arrival of the summer season in India, characterized by soaring temperatures and a dry climate in many parts of the country. The regional variations, however, continue to paint a diverse climatic picture.

In the northern plains, including cities like Delhi, Chandigarh, and Lucknow, temperatures rise significantly. Average daytime temperatures often exceed 35°C (95°F), while the night temperatures tend to hover around 20°C (68°F). Occasional heatwaves can push the maximum temperature further, particularly towards the end of the month.

The Thar Desert region in Rajasthan experiences arid conditions, with temperatures often reaching 40°C (104°F) in the daytime. The nights bring some respite, with temperatures dropping significantly due to the desert's lack of humidity.

Southern India, including states like Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh, also experiences a hot climate. Cities such as Chennai and Hyderabad witness average temperatures in the range of 25°C (77°F) to 40°C (104°F). Despite the heat, the coastal regions offer some relief due to the sea breeze and early morning and late evening hours are particularly pleasant.

The eastern and northeastern regions of the country, including cities like Kolkata and Guwahati, experience temperatures similar to the southern region, with averages ranging between 25°C (77°F) to 35°C (95°F). However, the northeastern states also begin to see pre-monsoon showers towards the end of the month, providing some respite from the heat.

Comparatively, April is significantly hotter than March, with the increase in temperature indicating a transition from spring to the intense summer season. The heat continues to intensify as the country moves towards May, the peak summer month in most regions of India.
