IMD Issues New Warning: No Heat Wave in Delhi Till June 4
The weather in Delhi turned pleasant again on Monday due to rain with strong winds and a cloudy sky. The Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a new warning stating that heat wave conditions are not likely to return to the capital till June 4. This is good news for the people of Delhi who have been experiencing extreme heat for the past few weeks.
Fresh Western Disturbance Brings Rain and Hailstorm to Delhi
Under the influence of a fresh Western Disturbance, there is a possibility of rain and hailstorm accompanied by strong winds at some places in Delhi on Monday and Tuesday. The maximum temperature is expected to remain below 40 degree Celsius till June 4. The IMD has issued a yellow alert, warning people of traffic disruption and water-logging in low-lying areas.
Unusual Weather Phenomenon in Delhi
Meteorologists have attributed the unusual weather phenomenon in Delhi to a higher-than-usual Western Disturbance – a weather system that originates in the Mediterranean region and brings unseasonal rains to northwest India this season. According to IMD data, the Safdarjung observatory has recorded 86.7 mm of rainfall so far in May. Normally, the national capital receives an average of 19.7 mm of rainfall throughout the month.
Delhi Witnesses Below Normal Temperature and Excessive Rainfall in May
The month of May is normally the hottest month in Delhi with an average maximum temperature of 39.5°C, but this time May has recorded below-normal temperature and excessive rainfall. Delhi also witnessed an unusual phenomenon of dense fog earlier this month. The minimum temperature on May 4 had dropped to 15.8 degrees Celsius, the third coldest morning for the month of May since the IMD began keeping records in 1901.
Fewer Days with Heatwave Conditions Predicted for Northwest India in May
Earlier this month, the weather office predicted below-normal maximum temperatures and fewer days with heatwave conditions in northwest India in May. Delhi recorded over 20 mm of rainfall in April, the highest for the month since 2017. Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of more than 40 degrees Celsius only for nine days in May.
