The October heat is responsible for the rise in the country’s temperature after the monsoon and before winter. Because of heavy rainfall, increased humidity due to cloud cover, and sea waves in coastal areas during the southwest monsoon, most parts of the country experience low temperatures. As the monsoon returns, the humidity drops while the temperature suddenly rises, resulting in the October heat.

Reason for October Heat
October heat refers to the weather phenomenon with a rise in temperature across India in the month of October. It is marked by the movement of the Sun towards the south. The low-pressure trough is weakening over the Northern Plains. It is then replaced by a weakening of the monsoon in the southwest resulting in a high-pressure system.
