Tattamangalam, Palakkad district – February used to feel like a transition month. Not peak summer. Not yet the April furnace. But the recorded numbers from 2025 and 2026 tell a different story. This is not opinion. This is data.<\/p>\n

Average Temperatures – Year Comparison<\/h2>\n

Average High<\/strong>
\nFeb 2025: 38.78\u00b0C<\/strong>
\nFeb 2026: 37.77\u00b0C<\/strong><\/p>\n

Average Mean Temperature<\/strong>
\nFeb 2025: 29.31\u00b0C<\/strong>
\nFeb 2026: 28.91\u00b0C<\/strong><\/p>\n

Average Low<\/strong>
\nFeb 2025: 22.30\u00b0C<\/strong>
\nFeb 2026: 22.56\u00b0C<\/strong><\/p>\n

At first look, 2025 was slightly hotter overall in daytime. But the real story is in the pattern, not just averages.<\/p>\n

Extreme Heat Days<\/h2>\n

Days at or above 40\u00b0C<\/strong>
\n2025: 5 days<\/strong>
\n2026: 3 days<\/strong><\/p>\n

Highest Recorded Temperature<\/strong>
\n2025: 42.9\u00b0C<\/strong>
\n2026: 42.4\u00b0C<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both years crossed 42\u00b0C in February itself<\/strong>. That is not late-April heat. That is pre-summer touching extreme territory. 2025 had more sharp, intense spikes above 40\u00b0C – heat coming in stronger punches.<\/p>\n

Night Temperatures – The Quiet Warning<\/h2>\n

Lowest Recorded Temperature<\/strong>
\n2025: 18.7\u00b0C<\/strong>
\n2026: 20.1\u00b0C<\/strong><\/p>\n

This matters. Even though 2026 had slightly lower daytime averages, the nights were warmer. The temperature did not drop as much. That reduces cooling recovery for people, crops, soil moisture, and livestock.<\/p>\n

What the Pattern Suggests<\/h2>\n

2025<\/strong>
\n– More extreme daytime spikes
\n– Bigger day-night swings
\n– Classic intense dry-heat behaviour<\/p>\n

2026<\/strong>
\n– Slightly lower peak highs
\n– Warmer nights
\n– Less cooling relief
\n– Possible increased heat retention or humidity influence<\/p>\n

This shift from \u201cspike heat\u201d to \u201ctrapped heat\u201d is subtle, but measurable.<\/p>\n

The Bigger Point<\/h2>\n

Two consecutive February months crossing 42\u00b0C<\/strong> is not random weather drama. February in the Palakkad belt is no longer a gentle transition period. It is behaving like early summer.<\/p>\n

When 40\u00b0C becomes a recurring February number, we are looking at a structural change in seasonal behaviour.<\/p>\n

Climate change doesn\u2019t always shout.<\/strong>
\nSometimes it quietly shifts baselines.<\/p>\n

And the baseline here is clear:<\/strong> February is getting hotter, and cooling relief is shrinking.<\/p>\n
