New Delhi: The India Meteorological Department said that the maximum temperature in the national capital Delhi was recorded at 43.8 degrees Celsius, 4 degrees above normal on Saturday. The minimum temperature was recorded at 29.7 degrees Celsius, two notches above normal. According to the IMD, partly cloudy sky with thundershowers, lightning and surface winds are expected in Delhi in the next few days, but no major respite from the heat is likely till June 15. A report by Skymet Weather said that heatwave conditions are expected to persist over isolated parts of Delhi, Haryana, Northwest Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh till June 15.
In the areas of Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand, the heat wave will continue for the next two days. Northwest and central India is in the grip of heat wave since June 2 due to hot and dry westerly winds. According to the India Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of heavy rain over the western peninsular coast during the next two days. The current spell of heavy rain is likely to continue over Northeast India and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim for the next 5 days. Southwest Monsoon has made landfall in most parts of Konkan including Mumbai and some parts of Madhya Maharashtra.
Monsoon may enter Uttar Pradesh between June 17 and 20
JP Gupta, director of the Lucknow Center of the Indian Meteorological Department, said that some such factors are being prepared over eastern Uttar Pradesh, which will change the weather of the entire state. Now you have to bear the scorching heat for 2-3 days. An area of low air pressure is forming over East UP. Its effect will be visible from June 15. It will be cloudy from time to time, there may be a slight drop in the temperature. Monsoon is currently soaking the northeastern states. Monsoon can enter Uttar Pradesh between June 17 and 20. The Meteorological Department has expressed hope of gaining momentum in the next two days in the monsoon line on the border of Bihar and Bengal.
Monsoon on time in Northeast, 5 days behind moving towards South
If you look at the estimates of the Meteorological Department, you will find that the monsoon is on schedule in the northeast, but is running behind by about 5 days towards the south. In such a situation, if the monsoon does not pick up the pace, then there is little hope of it reaching north and central India on time. At the same time, along with the Arabian Sea, the situation has happened according to the monsoon speed in the Bay of Bengal. In this sense, in the coming days, there is an expectation of change in the weather pattern and the progress of monsoon. Now only if the period of monsoon activity progresses, there will be relief from the heat.
