The India Meteorological Department (IMD), Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) has been issuing seasonal outlooks for hot and cold weather seasons since 2016, providing temperature forecasts for the country. IMD is continuously working to improve its forecasting models and currently uses the Multi-Model Ensemble (MME) approach, which utilizes coupled global climate models (CGCMs) from various global climate prediction and research centers, including the IMD/MoES Monsoon Mission Climate Forecast System (MMCFS) model. IMD has prepared updated seasonal and monthly temperature forecasts for the 2025 hot weather season (April to June). Highlights During the 2025 hot weather season (April to June (AMJ)), above-normal maximum temperatures are most likely over most parts of the country, except some parts of west peninsular India and isolated regions of east-central and east India where normal maximum temperatures are most likely.
