District, Jharkhand
Latehar
Covering 2020–2025, the record is too short for a reliable long-term trend, so none is shown. In 2025: 23.8 °C average, 5 days when the ERA5 area-averaged daily maximum reached 40 °C or more.

Days with daily maximum ≥ 40 °C
Grid-cell reanalysis days, area-weighted. This is not a count of IMD-declared heatwave days.
ERA5 is a reanalysis, a model-based estimate rather than a station record. Days at or above 40 °C are grid-cell days, not IMD-declared heatwave days. District values are area-weighted from 0.25° cells (about 28 km), so small districts are coarse estimates.

Data and methodology
Temperature. ERA5 reanalysis (a model-based estimate that assimilates observations, not a station record) from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) / ECMWF, CC-BY 4.0, on a 0.25° grid of about 28 km.
Area weighting. Each grid cell is intersected with the district boundary and cells are averaged by overlapping area. Values are smoother than local weather and are not station readings.
Boundaries. geoBoundaries gbOpen IND ADM2 (Pathways Data / LGD) (2021, ODbL 1.0). These are not official Survey of India boundaries and carry no legal status.
Baseline. 1991–2020 is used for anomalies where the full baseline has been processed; otherwise anomalies are not shown.
Updates. Release 2026-10-31-f8bb6a6, generated 2026-10-31, data through 2025-12-31.
Limitations. Days at or above 40 °C count reanalysis grid-cell days and are not IMD-declared heatwave days. A short record cannot support a reliable long-term trend.
