<p>After a record-warm October, IMD has predicted above-normal temperatures to prevail in several parts of India in November.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the data shared by IMD, India&nbsp;experienced its warmest October since 1901, when the temperature data started being recorded. This comes after the country recorded similar trends in July, August and September.</p>

<h2>Warmest October ever recorded</h2>

<p>Normal mean temperature&nbsp;recorded in the month of October was 26.92 degrees Celsius, 1.23 degrees Celsius higher than the average. The country also recorded its warmest October in terms of&nbsp;minimum temperature&nbsp;since 1901.</p>

<p>The weather department said, “Monthly mean minimum Temperature for the month of October over entire country is the highest in the year 2024 during the last 124 years (1901-2024). It is also highest over Northwest India, Central and South Peninsular India.”</p>

<p>The unusually warm weather across the country could be attributed to two reasons. The first being, “No active western disturbance impacted the region,” said IMD Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra. “The second reason is that five low pressure areas formed during October with three depressions and one cyclone, leading to more easterly winds”.</p>

<p>Western disturbances result in a temporary dip in temperatures when they pass but this did not happen this year, Mohapatra explained.</p>

<h2>IMD forecasts a warm November</h2>

<p>Above-normal temperatures are likely to remain in several parts of India, the weather department said on Friday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“We (IMD) do not give any forecast on the onset of winter in the country, and we do not even consider November as winter,” said Mohapatra.</p>

<p>The Northwest and central parts are expected to witness above-normal minimum temperatures during the first half of the month as they received below-normal rainfall this monsoon.</p>

<p>Above-normal maximum temperatures are also likely over northeast and east central India and some regions of northwest and Peninsular India.

Indian MET department predicts a warm November following record-high temperatures in October

<p>The United States is preparing itself for the dynamic weather event of November called witch storms. November is the month when fall grows into winter and often a mix of weather conditions is experienced in the early month. One such phenomenon is the witch storms, which are described as intense Midwest windstorms.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Midwest windstorms (sometimes also called thunderstorms) are fierce windstorms that develop in the Midwestern USA i.e. the northern central part of the country. This region usually experiences several windstorms in late October or early November. One such climatic event is witch storms. Let’s decode this&nbsp;spookily-titled&nbsp;storm.</p>

<h2><strong>What are witch storms? How are they formed?</strong></h2>

<p>Witch storms are the windstorms that are formed during the fall when the temperature is increasing in contrast from north to south across the US. This increase in temperature produces stronger low-pressure systems that produce intense winds or windstorms, as per The Weather Channel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>These winds have a notorious history of escalating in early November and are sometimes referred to as the “Witches of November.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Winds from these storms often cause tree damage and huge power outages. According to The Weather Channel, these storms are also a major hazard for shipping on the Great Lakes. In November 1975, one of these witch storms sank a huge iron ore ship called Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>November will be cloudier</strong></h2>

<p>As per The Weather Channel’s report, this month is usually the cloudiest month of the year in parts of the Northern Plains and upper Midwest in the States. For other parts, the cloudy peak will arrive in December. But an average November sky will remain at least 70 per cent cloud-covered around the Great Lakes, interior Northeast and Pacific Northwest.</p>

<h2><strong>Severe weather outbreaks can occur in November</strong></h2>

<p>History shows that November is prone to severe weather outbreaks. Last year, November saw an above-average 68 tornadoes in the month, most of which were in the South of the US, as per The Weather Channel.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Deadly tornadoes struck Texas and Oklahoma states on Nov 4 and then Alabama early on Nov 30. Based on these occurrences, meteorologists are predicting large outbreaks in Nov 2023 too. It is mostly because of the windstorms occurring in the Deep South, where warm, moist air is more common.</p>
