In 1905, the mean temperature during January-February was 17.58 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during March-May was 24.99 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during June-September was 27.37 degree Celsius; and the mean temperature during October-December was 21.48 degree Celsius.

The annual mean temperature was 23.95 degree Celsius in the year 1925. In 1925, the mean temperature during January-February was 18.31 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during March-May was 26.18 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during June-September was 26.92 degree Celsius; and the mean temperature during October-December was 21.51 degree Celsius.

The annual mean temperature was 23.92 degree Celsius in the year 1945. In 1945, the mean temperature during January-February was 18.35 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during March-May was 25.71 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during June-September was 27.43 degree Celsius; and the mean temperature during October-December was 21.16 degree Celsius.

The annual mean temperature was 24.07 degree Celsius in the year 1965. In 1965, the mean temperature during January-February was 19.22 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during March-May was 25.24 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during June-September was 27.08 degree Celsius; and the mean temperature during October-December was 22.1 degree Celsius.

The annual mean temperature was 24.45 degree Celsius in the year 1985. In 1985, the mean temperature during January-February was 19.61 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during March-May was 26.72 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during June-September was 27.12 degree Celsius; and the mean temperature during October-December was 21.84 degree Celsius.

The annual mean temperature was 24.58 degree Celsius in the year 2005. In 2005, the mean temperature during January-February was 19.79 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during March-May was 26.33 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during June-September was 27.64 degree Celsius; and the mean temperature during October-December was 21.93 degree Celsius.

The annual mean temperature was 24.91 degree Celsius in the year 2015. In 2015, the mean temperature during January-February was 20.12 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during March-May was 26.29 degree Celsius; the mean temperature during June-September was 27.73 degree Celsius; and the mean temperature during October-December was 22.99 degree Celsius.

Thus, the annual mean temperature of India has increased approximately by 1 degree Celsius as compared to the early decades of 20^th Century.  The annual mean temperature of India crossed 25 degree Celsius mark in 1995 for the first time. In the 21^st century till 2015, annual mean temperature of India was above 25 degree Celsius in three years viz. 2006, 2009 and 2010. It is, therefore, undeniably a cause of concern from the global warming and climate conservation perspective.
