New Delhi:
The latest data released by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) reveals that 2016 was the warmest year for India in the last 116 years since 1901.Not just that, IMD’s “Statement on Climate of India during 2016” also reveals that India’s top five warmest years since 1901 have been recorded only in the last 15 years.

Here’s a list of the five hottest years in the recent past.

2016: The climate of India was significantly warmer than normal during 2016 in line with the warmer-than-normal global climate observed during the period. The annual mean land surface air temperature for 2016 was around 0.91 degree Celsius above the 1961-1990 average, thus making the year 2016 the warmest year on record since 1901.

The strong El-Nino event of 2015-16, which continued till early March 2016, and the global warming trend likely caused the significantly warmer temperature during winter and pre-monsoon seasons. Also, the northeast monsoon season rainfall over the country as a whole was the fifth-lowest since 1901.
