Employing observed gridded daily rainfall and temperature datasets for 1971–2022, we developed a revised India Climate Extremes Index ( IndCEI ) to assess long‐term variability in climate extremes across the country. The IndCEI modifies the original CEI framework by integrating seven indicators particularly relevant to the Indian climate system: maximum temperature ( T max ), minimum temperature ( T min ), consecutive dry days...

This study investigates long‐term changes in wet bulb temperature (WBT) along the Indian coasts during 1981–2020, together with associated variations in dry bulb temperature (DBT) and specific humidity ( q ). The analysis is carried out separately for the four seasons—January–March (JFM), April–June (AMJ), July–September, and October–December (OND). The results show a significant rise in the seasonal daily maximum WBT across a...
