IMD November 2026 Outlook: Will India Experience a Warmer Month?
The IMD’s monthly outlook for November 2026 indicates that temperatures across much of India could remain above normal.
Both maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to be higher than their usual levels across many regions. This suggests that daytime conditions may remain relatively warm even as the country moves further into the winter season.
The monthly rainfall outlook points towards below-normal rainfall over much of the country, although regional differences are expected. Some areas of central, northwestern and northeastern India may receive more rainfall than their seasonal average.
The outlook also indicates that rainfall across the country could be around 77% of the long-period average (LPA). The South Peninsular region is also expected to receive rainfall below its normal seasonal level.
These are monthly projections, not guarantees of daily weather conditions. Individual weather systems can still produce intense rainfall over particular districts, even during a month expected to be drier overall.

Residents in low-lying areas should remain alert to possible waterlogging. Farmers, fishermen and people travelling along coastal routes should follow the latest district-level advisories issued by the IMD and local authorities.
Weather conditions can change quickly, so local warnings should take priority over broad regional forecasts.
