Detailed explanation-1: -While day temperatures are high, nights are cool and pleasant. The land is still moist. Owing to the conditions of high temperature and humidity, the weather becomes rather oppressive during the day. This is commonly known as ‘October heat’.
Detailed explanation-2: -The months of October-November form a period of transition from hot-rainy season to dry winter conditions. The retreat of the monsoon is marked by clear skies and rise in temperature. While day temperatures are high, nights are cool and pleasant.
Detailed explanation-3: -’October heat’ is the name given to the weather in the Indian subcontinent during the month of October. With the sun’s apparent movement towards the south in October and November, the monsoon trough or low-pressure trough over the northern plains weakens. A high-pressure system progressively takes its place.
