In-situ measurments of the topside F-region ionospheric electron and ion temperatures are very few over the low and equatorial latitudes during the last two solar cycles, particularly in the Indian sector. The SROSS C2 satellite has provided some valuable data on the thermal structure of the topside ionosphere over the Indian region. This article reports a typical evening enhancement in the topside F-region electron temperatures around 18:00 IST observed in the subtropical latitudes of 15-20°N. These enhancements that are seen during the low sunspot activity periods show a latitudinal difference with an early and sharp peak at higher latitudes (23°N). The observed features are explained on the basis of equatorial plasma dynamics associated with the Appleton ionization anomaly.
