ANNUAL CLIMATE SUMMARY 2014

Climate during 2014 was significantly warm in respect of temperature. The annual mean
temperature for India in 2014 was +0.53 0C above the 1961-1990 average, making the year the fifth warmest
year on record since nation-wide records commenced in 1901 (Fig 1). Warmer temperature during the monsoon
season (Jun-Sep, +0.770C) and the post monsoon season (Oct-Dec, +0.530C) mainly contributed to the warmer
annual temperature.

Rainfall during the principal rainy season [Southwest (summer) monsoon season (June-September)] for
the country as a whole was below normal (88 % of Long Period average (LPA)). Moreover, it was marked with
large spatial and temporal variability. Central, peninsular and eastern/ northeastern parts of the country
received normal rainfall, while northwestern parts of the country received deficient rainfall. Also, during the
first half of the season (1 June to 31 July) country received 78 % of its LPA value, (June deficiency alone was
42 %), while during second half of season (1August to 30 September) it received 97 % of its LPA value.
Northeast monsoon activity, over the south peninsula (core region comprising of 5 subdivisions viz. Coastal
Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu & Pondicherry, South Interior Karnataka and Kerala), was also
below average as the region during the season received 88% of its LPA value.

TEMPERATURE

Annual:

Spatial pattern of annual mean, maximum and minimum temperature anomalies for 2014 is shown in
Fig.1. Anomaly in the maximum, minimum and mean temperature over most parts of the country was generally
in range of +1.00 C. However, parts of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Nagaland, Mizoram, Manipur &
Tripura and Andaman & Nicobar Islands were warmer than the normal by more than 10C.

The annual mean temperature for the country as a whole during 2014 was +0.53 0C above the
1961-1990 average, thus making the year 2014 as the fifth warmest year on record since 1901 (Fig. 2a).
The other 9 warmest years on record in order are: 2009 (0.77), 2010 (0.75), 2003(0.61), 2002(0.59), 1998(0.49),
2012(0.48), 2006(0.43), 2007(0.41) and 1987(0.40). It may be mentioned that 7 out of the 10 warmest years in
India were during the recent past decade (2001-2010) making it the warmest decade on record with decadal
mean temperature anomaly of 0.490C.

Time series and trend in mean temperature anomalies for different seasons viz. winter (Jan to Feb), pre-
monsoon (Mar to May), monsoon (June to Sept) and post-monsoon (Oct to Dec) seasons for the period 1901-
2014 are shown in Figs 2b, 2c, 2d and 2e respectively. The mean temperature for the monsoon season (with
anomaly +0.770C above average) this year was the highest since 1901, thus making it the warmest
monsoon season. The other 5 warmest monsoon years on record in order are 2009(0.75), 1987(0.74),
2003(0.59), 1998(0.56) and 1995(0.54). Also, the June month this year (with anomaly +1.34 0C above average)
was the warmest since 1901 while July (+0.79 0C) was third warmest and August (+0.70 0C) was second
warmest.

Spatial pattern of trend in mean annual temperature anomalies (Fig.3) suggests significant positive
(increasing) trend over most parts of the country except some parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Bihar, where
significant negative (decreasing) trend was observed.

Fig.4 shows the spatial pattern of monthly maximum and minimum temperature anomalies. Regions
with significant temperature anomaly (> or < + 2 0C) during each concerned month are discussed below.

January-February (Winter season):

During January, maximum temperature was below normal by about 3 to 40C over parts of East
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Gangetic West Bengal. Over the hilly areas of western
Himalayas viz. parts of Himachal Pradesh and adjoining Jammu & Kashmir and parts of extreme northeastern
region, maximum temperature was above normal by about 2 to 30C. Similarly, during February, over parts of
west Madhya Pradesh, northern parts of East Uttar Pradesh & adjoining Bihar and over parts of Gangetic West
Bengal, maximum temperature was below normal by 2 to 30C.

 HIGHLIGHTS

Of the four homogeneous regions, the rainfall for the monsoon season was below normal over northwest
India (78.6% of LPA) and East & Northeast India (88.2% of LPA), while it was normal over Central India (90.4% of
LPA) and south peninsula (93% of LPA).

Daily area weighted rainfall (mm) over the country as a whole during the monsoon season 2014 (1st Jun.
th
to 30 Sep.) and its long term average values are shown in Fig. 9. For the country as a whole, rainfall averaged
was below normal on most of the days till second week of July, afterwards it was above normal till first week
of August, again it was below normal till the end of August. During September, it was above normal for first
nine days, and afterwards it was generally below normal till the end of season. It was nearly half (55%) of its
normal value, at a stretch from 22 June to 13 July. However, during the period from 14 July to 7 August and
again from 31 August to 8 September, it was above normal on many days and even exceeded twice its
normal value on some occasions.

Post-monsoon season:

During all the months of the season, rainfall activity over the country was subdued. Rainfall
realized over the country as a whole was 75%, 49% and 64% of LPA during October, November and
December months, respectively. Except for some subdivisions of Peninsula, central & northern region and the
Islands, most parts of the country received deficient/scanty rainfall.

Rainfall activity over the core region of south peninsula (comprising of 5 subdivisions viz. Coastal
Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu & Puducherry, South Interior Karnataka and Kerala) during the
season as a whole was subdued ( 88% of Long Period Average (LPA)). Rainfall realized was 110%, 57%
and 78% of respective LPA value during October, November and December months respectively. Out of
the above five subdivisions, Tamil Nadu & Puducherry, South Interior Karnataka and Kerala received normal
rainfall while Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema received deficient rainfall.

Out of 36 meteorological subdivisions, 2 subdivisions received excess rainfall, 10 received normal

rainfall, 13 received deficient rainfall and remaining 11 subdivisions received scanty rainfall.

Time series of northeast monsoon seasonal rainfall over the south peninsula is shown in Fig. 10.
Rainfall over the south peninsula this year (292.5mm) was the third lowest since 2001 after the years 2004
(275.2mm) and 2013 (285.0mm).

Standardized Precipitation Index

The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is an index used for measuring drought and is based on
precipitation. This index is negative for drought, and positive for wet conditions. As the dry or wet conditions
become more severe, the index becomes more negative or positive. Fig.11 gives the SPI values for the year
2014.

Cumulative SPI values of the year indicate, extremely wet/severely wet conditions over parts of Odisha,
Bihar, Jammu & Kashmir, West Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and North & South Interior Karnataka while
extremely dry/severely dry conditions were observed over parts of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam & Meghalaya,
NMMT, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal & Sikkim, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh state, Haryana, Chandigarh &
Delhi, Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, East Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat Region, Marathwada, Chattisgarh and Andhra
Pradesh state.

TROPICAL STORMS / DEPRESSIONS IN THE INDIAN SEAS

During 2014, three cyclonic storms/severe cyclonic storms formed over the north Indian seas. (one each
in June and October over the Arabian sea and one over the Bay of Bengal in October).

The very Severe Cyclonic Storm HUDHUD which formed over the Bay of in the month of October was
the strongest storm of the year 2014. It crossed the Andhra Pradesh coast causing heavy rainfall and
widespread damage to crops and property in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.

ANNUAL CLIMATE SUMMARY 2014 4

 HIGHLIGHTS

The other two cyclonic storms (NANAUK in the month of June and Very severe cyclonic storm
NILOFAR in the month of October) which formed over the Arabian sea, dissipated insitu over the sea itself
without making landfall.

During the monsoon season, two depressions, one each during July and August, formed over the
north Indian seas as against the normal frequency of four. These two depressions formed over the
north/northwest Bay of Bengal, persisted for two/three days and moved westwards across central parts of
the country.

However, apart from the cyclonic storm and two depressions, as many as 10 low pressure areas
were formed during the monsoon season. Of these, 8 formed over the Bay of Bengal (1 in June, 3 in July
and 2 each in August and September), 2 over the Arabian Sea (1 each in August and September). The low
pressure areas which formed over the Bay of Bengal were generally active for four to five days and had a
predominantly westerly / northwesterly movement. The three depressions and the low pressure areas
caused good rainfall over the central and adjoining northern and peninsular parts of the country.

The tracks of these cyclonic storms and depressions formed during the year are shown in figures.12 (a)
and 12(b).

Frequency of depressions and cyclonic storms formed over the north Indian Ocean (1951-2014) during
the monsoon and post-monsoon season is shown in figures.13 (a) and 13(b).

SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EVENTS

Severe cold wave/cold wave/cold day/dense foggy conditions prevailed over the plains of northern
India during January and December. Cold wave/fog related incidents claimed over 200 lives from northern
parts of the country with over 140 lives from Uttar Pradesh alone during December.

Similarly, there were intense heat wave events which prevailed over northeastern, central and
peninsular parts of the country during May and June. These events took a toll of over 600 lives with near
450 lives from Andhra Pradesh alone.

The most devastating event of the year was the floods in Jammu & Kashmir which were the worst in
last six decades occurring during the second week of September. It claimed over 200 lives and left more
than 4 lakh people stranded for many days besides causing widespread damage to the property and crops.
th
A severe landslide on 5 August (due to heavy rains) completely buried a village `Malin' (Dist. Pune,
Maharashtra). Around 150 people lost their lives in the landslide.

Severe floods in Assam during the last two weeks of September claimed over 60 lives. Around one million
people were affected due to the flood. There was widespread damage to crops and property during the flood.
rd th
Odisha, received unusually heavy rains during 3 to 5 August, due to a deep depression which
caused vigorous monsoon conditions. Many stations of the state received very heavy rainfall during the
period. Some stations of Odisha, viz., Sambhalpur received 82 cm of cumulative rainfall during the 72
hours ending on 5th August (3-5 August). Similarly, Dhenkanal reported 83.7 cm of rainfall during the 72 hrs.
period. These were all time high rainfall events for the 72 hrs. This rain affected two million people of the
state and damaged crops, houses and other infrastructures. About 45 people died in these rains.

Unprecedented widespread hailstorm activities in 28 of 35 districts of Maharashtra and adjoining

central parts of India in the first week of March severely affected crops over 20 lakh hectares. Thousands of
livestock, animals and birds succumbed to the injuries and deaths. There were about 30 human deaths
and economic loss estimated worth more than 20 billion. Significant weather events during 2014 and
associated loss of lives are shown in Fig. 16.

The highest maximum & lowest minimum temperature and highest rainfall in 24 hours recorded over a
station during the year 2014 with the dates of occurrences are given in Table 2.
