In January, North India experiences cold weather due to the influence of the Himalayas and continental winds, with average temperatures often below 15°C. South India, being closer to the Equator and influenced by maritime conditions, remains warm, with temperatures generally above 20°C or 25°C. The 20°C isotherm typically runs across central India, separating the cooler northern plains from the warmer southern peninsula, effectively dividing the country into roughly two halves based on temperature distribution in January.
