As winter's last breath fades across northern and western India, the land is meeting an unseasonable warmth that refuses to yield. Cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and the towns of Uttar Pradesh are recording temperatures five to seven degrees above their March norms, with the India Meteorological Department offering little promise of rain or relief in the near term. It is a reminder that the seasons no longer turn on the schedules human memory has kept — that what once felt like the gentle arrival of spring can now arrive as the abrupt onset of summer.
