NEW DELHI - 2010 has been the warmest year since 1901, the India Meteorology Department (IMD) said Thursday in its annual report.

IMD’s annual climate summary states that the average temperature for the country as a whole during 2010 was 0.93 degree Celsius above the average recorded in 1961-1990. “It was slightly higher than that of the year 2009, thus making the year 2010 as the warmest year on record since 1901,” it said.

”The annual mean temperature for the country as a whole was 25.8023 degrees Celsius during 2010 -- 0.93 degrees higher than the average for the 30-year period from 1961,” states the summary.
