The India Meteorological Department forecast for temperatures in July said, "normal to above normal" maximum temperatures are likely over most parts of the country, except some parts of the Himalayan foothills and peninsular India where "below normal" maximum temperatures are likely.
"Normal to above normal minimum temperatures are likely over most parts of the country except over parts of west, northeast, and peninsular India where 'below normal' minimum temperatures are likely."
