Maximum temperature in Delhi-NCR and other parts of North West India The India Meteorological Department said on Thursday that there will be a few degrees lower over the weekend, but no major relief is likely till June 15. The Meteorological Department has warned of very heavy rain (more than 204.5 mm) in Arunachal Pradesh on June 10-11 and in Assam and Meghalaya during the next five days.
RK Jenamani, senior scientist at IMD said, “Heat warning is in place for parts of northwest and central India on Thursday, but a sharp rise in temperature is not predicted.” Northwest and central India is in the grip of heat wave since June 2 due to the onslaught of hot and dry westerly winds.
“The ongoing heatwave spell is less intense than those recorded in April-end and May, but the area of effect is roughly equal,” he said. The IMD official said that pre-monsoon activity is predicted over East Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha from June 12, but north Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and North Madhya Pradesh will see above-normal temperatures.
“Slight relief may be available over some parts of North West India including Delhi-NCR on June 11-12. He said that the weekend will be cloudy but there is no chance of rain. Till June 15, the temperature will be between 40 degree Celsius and 43 degree Celsius.
“Thunderstorms and rain may occur in this region from June 16 onwards due to moisture-laden easterly winds, which is expected to provide considerable respite from the heat,” he said. Asked whether the monsoon would reach Delhi-NCR and other parts of northwest India around the normal date, Genmani said it was too early to say anything.
Last year, the IMD had predicted that the monsoon would arrive in Delhi about two weeks before its normal date (June 27). However, it reached the capital and surrounding areas only on July 13, making it the most delayed in 19 years.
Monsoon had entered the “break” phase and from 20 June to 8 July there was virtually no progress.
