Delhi records highest day temperature of the season, maximum to touch 44 degrees

The national capital Delhi has been observing dry and hot weather conditions for the last few days. On Tuesday most Observatories of Delhi recorded their highest maximum temperature for the season. According to the temperature data available with Skymet, Delhi’s Ridge Observatory recorded highest maximum temperature at 42.7˚C, followed by Palam 42.5˚C, Ayanagar 41.0˚C and Safdarjung 40.3˚C.

The National Capital Region is now heading towards a heat wave like condition as we expect these day temperatures to rise further.

Though, the Western Disturbance over the Western Himalayas has induced a cyclonic circulation over parts of Rajasthan, its impact over Delhi and NCR will be nominal. We can expect partly cloudy skies during late afternoon and evening hours. Patchy thunderstorm activity cannot be ruled out either.

But due to dust storm activities in Rajasthan area along with westerly/northwesterly winds travelling from the region, air quality of Delhi and NCR will deteriorate, leading to very unhealthy pollution levels.

After 24 hours, due to commencement of easterly winds, marginal decrease in both day and night temperatures will be observed in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad. But this weather condition will not be much helpful in providing any kind of relief to the people.

According to meteorologists, the weather in Delhi-NCR will remain hot and uneasy for the coming four to five days as we do not foresee any significant weather activity affecting the region. In fact, the day temperature may soar to touch 44˚C in the coming days in some parts.

IPL 2019: Pleasant Bengaluru to host RCB v KXIP battle

The Indian Premier League has once again become an interesting affair as all these teams continue to move forward with their A game ahead. So much so that there is a war amongst the teams to stay at the topmost line.

Tonight, another power packed clash will take place between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Kings XI Punjab at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru at 8 PM.

Weather wise, Bengaluru weather will not see rains and will mostly remain dry. Weather will be pleasant with temperatures in Bengaluru settling between 25 and 29 degrees Celsius. Humidity will be on the lower side only.

Talking about teams, the Royal Challengers Bangalore despite winning two consecutive games are still in knee deep waters even now. In fact, they need to win each and every game from here on to ensure their position in the playoffs. Even one game can cost them the IPL.

On the other hand, the Kings XI Punjab have been alright performers, but they still will have to up their game because of the other teams performing really well. It will be interesting to see who ends up winning this one and who ends up on the losing side.

Meanwhile, talking about last night’s game, the Chennai Super Kings registered a win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad making their way back into the winning zone.

Dust storm activities to commence in Rajasthan today, maximums to drop marginally

In the wake of dry and warm weather conditions prevailing over Rajasthan, the state has already started observing very high maximum temperatures. In fact, isolated pockets of Rajasthan have even come under heat wave condition.

Now we expect further increase in day temperatures over the state, which will lead to many more districts under heat wave like condition.

However, the Western Disturbance approaching the hills of North India has induced a cyclonic circulation over Northeast Rajasthan. Therefore, we expect isolated dust storm activities to commence over the northern and northwestern districts of Rajasthan today.

On April 25 and 26, we expect many places in Rajasthan to observe dust storm activity followed by thunderstorm and thundershowers. These weather activities may drop the maximum temperatures in Rajasthan to some extent.

But as these activities will be short lived and of less intensity, no significant drop in temperatures will be witnessed. As it’s the pre-Monsoon season weather activities only occur during the late afternoon or evening hours. Thus, we can say that only marginal relief is in sight.

Moreover, once the weather system moves away, from April 27, day temperatures will once again start rising leading to hot weather in Rajasthan. Gradually increasing temperatures will lead to heat wave condition in few pockets of the state.

Potential Cyclone Fani to form soon in Bay of Bengal

Season’s first cyclonic storm is on way and is most likely to make an appearance in Bay of Bengal by the early next week. There is a long journey that lies ahead of the brewing system that would actually decide the course of the likely tropical storm. Let us a have detailed look on the various aspects of this potential storm.

First and foremost, if this system strengthens into a cyclonic storm, it would be named as ‘Fani’ and would be the maiden storm of the year for India as well as Bay of Bengal.

Journey :

At present, the system is at a nascent stage and is seen as mere cyclonic circulation over extreme Southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining Equatorial Indian Ocean.

According to weathermen, models are indicating that the system would be initially moving in northwest direction. It is likely to get more marked during the next 24 hours and would be inducing a low pressure area by April 25. By then, the system would have moved over southeast and adjoining Southwest Bay of Bengal and nearby areas of Indian Ocean.

Moving forward, by April 26, the system would further intensify into a depression and move over Southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining Indian Ocean. Favourable atmospheric conditions would be further enhancing the strength of the depression. This may turn into a deep depression and finally into a tropical storm in the subsequent three days i.e. April 29.

Favourable weather conditions :

The system would be travelling in favorable conditions through and through, right from its inception. For the formation of cyclonic storm, we have certain criteria, which are all at the moment.

1. Sea Surface Temperatures: For the any weather to intensify further, the key criteria is that it needs to travel in warm sea waters and for transforming into a tropical storm, the sea surface temperatures have to be above 26C. At present, the SSTs all across the Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean are ranging from 30C to 35C, favouring the formation of likely storm Fani.

2. Vertical wind shear: Lower would be the vertical wind shear, better for the strengthening of the system and vice versa. Presently, the system would be encountering low wind shear, which would help in gaining more momentum.

3. Long sea travel: More is the sea travel, better are the chances for the intensification of any system. The potential storm is still far away in Southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining Indian Ocean. It has long seat travel ahead, which would continue to infuse moisture to the weather system and help it strengthening further.

4. MJO (Madden–Julian oscillation): It is another key factor as movement of MJO through Indian Ocean at this time would lead to enhanced conditions for sustenance and growth of the weather system.

5. ITCZ (Inter Tropical Convergence Zone): The ITCZ is presently active over Equatorial Indian Ocean and the system is off shoot of this. The required convection is there with help the system to intensify further.

Intensity
The brewing system has a great potential of intensifying into a cyclonic storm. However, despite all favourable conditions, we are afraid that as of now it doesn’t seem to be a very strong tropical storm.

The reason behind this that the potential storm is traveling in lower latitudes, very close to the equator. Going by the rules, the proximity of equator would not let it grow much in terms of intensity.

Track :

Though it is too early to talk about the track of the likely storm, but we can see that there is no consensus among the numerical weather models. While some are indicating that the storm would be heading towards Indian coast of Tamil Nadu in close proximity to Chennai, others are pointing towards re-curving of the system towards Myanmar and Bangladesh.

Nonetheless, in both the scenarios, Tamil Nadu and Chennai would see rains and thundershowers but of varying in intensity. Scenario 1 would give some torrential rains over Tamil Nadu including Chennai but in scenario 2, the state would see light to moderate rains only.

Although majority of numerical weather systems are in favour of the former than the latter. But, since we have six days in between, we need to wait and watch. The picture would be cleaner by the end of the week.

[Hindi] बंगाल की खाड़ी में विकसित हो रहा डिप्रेशन, इसके सीज़न के पहले चक्रवात बनने की है संभावना

भारत में प्री-मॉनसून सीजन को बंगाल की खाड़ी और अरब सागर में चक्रवाती सीजन शुरू होने के तौर पर भी जाना जाता है। हालांकि मार्च में चक्रवात आने की संभावना बहुत कम होती है, लेकिन अप्रैल के मध्य आते-आते संभाव्यता बढ़ती जाती है। इसी तरह मई में चक्रवात आने की संभावना अप्रैल की तुलना में ज्यादा होती है। ऐसा भी देखा गया है कि जून में भी चक्रवाती तूफान विकसित हुए। ऐसा मॉनसून के कमज़ोर होने या मॉनसून के आने में देरी के कारण होता है।

वर्तमान समय की बात करें तो इस बार प्री-मॉनसून सीजन में अब तक अरब सागर और बंगाल की खाड़ी में एक भी चक्रवात विकसित नहीं हुआ है। हालांकि अब चक्रवात का समय शुरू होने के संकेत मिल रहे हैं। बंगाल की खाड़ी में कुछ हलचल शुरू हो गई है। मौसम से जुड़े मॉडल संकेत कर रहे हैं कि बंगाल की खाड़ी में 23 अप्रैल को एक चक्रवाती हवाओं का क्षेत्र विकसित हो सकता है। उसके बाद चक्रवात बनने में यह एक हफ्ते से अधिक का समय ले सकता है।

बंगाल की खाड़ी के सुदूर दक्षिण-पूर्व में यह सिस्टम आकार लेता दिखाई दे रहा है। हालांकि यह अभी शुरुआती अवस्था में है।

मौसम विशेषज्ञों के अनुसार संभावना है कि 24 अप्रैल को यह सिस्टम और व्यवस्थित रूप ले लेगा और 25 अप्रैल तक इसके निम्न दबाव बनने के संकेत मिल रहे हैं। उसके बाद क्रमशः यह सशक्त होता रहेगा और धीरे-धीरे उत्तर पश्चिमी दिशा में आगे बढ़ेगा। यह सिस्टम डिप्रेशन बन जाएगा और यह इस सीजन का पहला चक्रवाती तूफान होगा।

मौसम विशेषज्ञों का अनुमान है कि 26 अप्रैल तक डिप्रेशन बन जाएगा। जिस समय यह डीप डिप्रेशन बनेगा उस दौरान, अपनी दिशा बदल सकता है। डीप डिप्रेशन बनने तक और आगे बढ़ने के बाद भी यह भारत के तटों से दूर रहेगा। अब तक का आकलन यह है कि आंध्र प्रदेश और तमिलनाडु के तटीय क्षेत्र सुरक्षित रहेंगे। यह समुद्री सिस्टम आगे बढ़ते हुए 28 अप्रैल तक बंगाल की खाड़ी के मध्य तक पहुंच सकता है। इसी दौरान यह एक कमज़ोर चक्रवाती तूफान बन जाएगा। 29 और 30 अप्रैल को बंगाल की खाड़ी के मध्य और इससे सटे उत्तर-पूर्वी भागों में पहुंचेगा।

चक्रवात के 1 मई को बांग्लादेश और म्यांमार के पास अराकान के ताओं के करीब पहुंचने की आशंका है। क्योंकि यह सिस्टम लंबी समुद्री यात्रा करेगा और समुद्र की सतह का तापमान इस समय 29 डिग्री सेल्सियस के आसपास चल रहा है इसलिए इसके चक्रवाती तूफान बनने की संभावना प्रबल है। हालांकि सभी सकारात्मक स्थितियों के बावजूद इसके भीषण चक्रवात बनने के आसार काफी कम हैं।

अप्रैल महीने में बनने वाले चक्रवाती तूफान प्रायः बंगाल की खाड़ी के सुदूर दक्षिण पूर्वी क्षेत्र में हिंद महासागर में भूमध्य रेखा के पास विकसित होते हैं। गौरतलब है कि 0 और 5 डिग्री के बीच भूमध्य रेखा के दोनों ओर कोई चक्रवाती तूफान विकसित नहीं होता। अगर यहां कोई तूफान बनता भी है तो वह जल्द ही अपना प्रभाव खो देता है और कमज़ोर हो जाता है।

एक महत्वपूर्ण जानकारी यह भी है कि अप्रैल महीने में बनने वाले चक्रवाती तूफान शुरुआत में उत्तर-पश्चिमी दिशा में बढ़ते हैं। भारतीय तट के करीब पहुंचने के बाद अपनी दिशा बदल कर बांग्लादेश और म्यांमार के नजदीक अराकान तट की तरफ निकल जाते हैं। अप्रैल में यह बहुत कम देखने को मिलता है कि कोई चक्रवाती तूफान सीधे तौर पर भारत के पूर्वी तटों पर लैंडफॉल करे।

24 अप्रैल का मौसम पूर्वानुमान: कश्मीर, बिहार, बंगाल में हो सकती है बारिश, दिल्ली, हरियाणा, महाराष्ट्र में चलेगी लू

जहां देश भर में ज़्यादातर जगहों पर मौसम शुष्क होता जा रहा है और लू का प्रकोप अब बढ़ने लगा है, वहीं जम्मू कश्मीर में बारिश के एक स्पैल जल्द देखने को मिलेगा।

एक पश्चिमी विक्षोभ जम्मू कश्मीर के पास से होकर आगे जाने वाला है। इसके चलते जम्मू कश्मीर में अगले दो यानि 24 और 24 अप्रैल को अच्छी बारिश देखने को मिल सकती है। गुलमर्ग, कुलगाम, पहलगाम जैसे ऊंचे क्षेत्रों में हल्की बर्फबारी की भी संभावना है।

इस दौरान हिमाचल प्रदेश में भी कुछ स्थानों पर बारिश हो सकती है। लेकिन उत्तराखंड को मौसम निराश करेगा। यहाँ छिटपुट बूँदाबाँदी होगी।

इस पश्चिमी विक्षोभ से मैदानी इलाकों में कोई चक्रवाती क्षेत्र नहीं बनने वाला है। इसलिए पंजाब, हरियाणा, दिल्ली, राजस्थान और उत्तर प्रदेश में बारिश की संभावना बिलकुल नहीं है।

राजधानी सहित इन राज्यों में शुष्क मौसम और चिलचिलाती धूप के कारण अधिकांश शहरों में तापमान 40 डिग्री से ऊपर रहेगा। हिसार, चुरू और गंगानगर जैसे कुछ शहरों में लू की भी शुरुआत हो सकती है।

पूर्वी भारत में किशनगंज, भागलपुर, पूर्णिया, जलपाईगुड़ी, सिल्लीगुडी, दार्जिलिंग सहित बिहार के उत्तर-पूर्वी शहरों, उत्तरी बंगाल, सिक्किम, असम और अरुणाचल प्रदेश में कहीं-कहीं हल्की तो कहीं मध्यम बौछारें गिर सकती हैं।

इसके अलावा छिटपुट बारिश की संभावना ओड़ीशा, आंध्र प्रदेश, केरल और इससे सटे कर्नाटक में है। इन भागों में हल्की बारिश हो सकती है।

जबकि महाराष्ट्र, मध्य प्रदेश, गुजरात और दक्षिणी राजस्थान के लगभग सभी शहरों में मध्यम रफ्तार से उत्तर-पश्चिमी शुष्क हवाएँ आएंगी। धूप भी काफी प्रचंड होगी जिससे मध्य भारत के कई शहर तेज़ लू की गिरफ्त में हो सकते हैं।

Weather Forecast April 24: Rain in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Kashmir, hot weather in Delhi, Haryana

To begin with North India, a Western Disturbance lies over North Pakistan and adjoining Jammu and Kashmir. Due to which, rain and thundershowers may affect parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and foothills of Punjab. Its induced cyclonic circulation is over Northwest Rajasthan. Therefore, few parts of Rajasthan may also witness dust storm and thundershower activity. Weather in Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh will remain dry and very warm.

Humid winds from Bay of Bengal are increasing moisture over the northeastern states. Thus, rain and thundershowers will continue over few places of Sikkim, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. Weather of East Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand will be dry. Isolated rains may occur over Odisha.

In South India, the north-south trough is extending from Central India to Kerala across Interior Karnataka. Therefore, we expect scattered rains to continue in Kerala. Isolated rains will also occur in Interior Tamil Nadu and South Interior Karnataka. Weather of rest Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh will eb dry and hot.

Weather of Central India is expected to remain dry. Heat wave conditions are expected to occur in few places of Rajasthan and isolated pockets of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Dry and hot winds will continue to blow over all these areas, leading to increase in day temperatures. Chhattisgarh will also become dry now.

Weather Forecast for Nagaland from April 23 to April 29

With potential cyclone brewing in Bay, stormy days ahead for Tamil Nadu, Chennai

It seems that the wait for season’s maiden cyclonic storm is going to end soon. Skymet Weather has already indicated towards a likely depression in Bay of Bengal, which has fair chances of intensifying into a tropical storm by early next week. If this forms, the cyclonic storm would be named as ‘Fani’.

With this, speculations about the track of the possible cyclonic storm have started doing rounds, with several models indicating towards different tracks. All eyes are now on whether it would head towards the Indian coast of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh or re-curve and move towards Myanmar or Bangladesh.

According to weathermen, there has been a consensus on the formation of the tropical storm but not on the track so far. Initially, the system which is presently just a cyclonic circulation over extreme Southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining Equatorial Indian Ocean, would be tracking northwestwards.

By April 25, it is likely to induce a low pressure area and thereafter into a depression by April 26. By this time, it would have moved to Southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining Indian Ocean.

However, there is an uncertainty about the track thereafter but as it will travel in favourable weather conditions, it would continue to gather more strength.

Going by scenario 1, the likely storm Fani is likely to track northwest and hit Tamil Nadu coast. If this happens, Tamil Nadu, particularly its north coastal areas would encounter stormy weather. Spells of heavy rains, intense thundershowers, high velocity winds, lightning, flooding, rough sea conditions will be seen during that time, which is around April 29.

Chennai, which has been battling hot and sultry weather for long now, would also see good rains. Weathermen are of the view that the potential cyclone may cross the coast from the close proximity of Chennai, bringing some flooding rains.

Scenario 1

Going by scenario 2, weather models are indicating that after reaching Southwest Bay of Bengal as a depression, it is likely to re-curve and move northeastwards. The system would then be heading to either Myanmar or Bangladesh coast.

Nonetheless, while re-curving it would skirt the East Coast and as a result, we might see some rains over coastal stations of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. However, we can expect cloudy sky, bringing light rains with few moderate spells. The effect of the system in that case would not be as intense as in the scenario one.

Scenario 2

Out of the two scenarios, majority of numerical weather systems are in favour of the former than the latter. However, since we have six days in between, we need to wait and watch. The picture would be clearer by the end of the week.

Dust storm and thundershowers to hit Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Barmer

Rajasthan has been witnessing dry weather since the last six days. Significant rise in mercury was observed April 20 onward.

At present, most of the places in Rajasthan are witnessing temperatures close to 40°C or more. Thus, heat wave condition is a highly possible in parts of West and South Rajasthan in next 24 hours. There is another development, a Cyclonic Circulation that has formed in lower levels of Northeast Rajasthan in the wake of a fresh Western Disturbance which at present is over North Pakistan.

By tomorrow, April 24, we expect scattered dust storm and thundershower activities to commence over Northwest and West Rajasthan. Similar weather conditions would prevail in the region till April 25. Places like Sri Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, Churu, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer and Jodhpur might experience dust storm activities followed by light thundershowers or thunderstorms. During this period, there are chances that wind speed might reach 50-60 kmph gusting at 70 kmph.

In the wake of these weather activities some relief is expected from the hot and dry weather conditions in the region. But the relief will be short lived as the weather activities will be patchy and will be seen during late afternoon or evening hours.

As the temperatures would rise further during the month of May, we expect intensity of dust storms and thunderstorms to increase. Intermittent pre-Monsoon rain and thundershower activities would also continue in May till first half of June. These activities would only give momentary relief from high temperatures and precautions should be taken from destructive winds.

Part of Chennai coast could be submerged in water by 2100

Rising sea levels will become a big problem for the city of Chennai in less than a century from now. As per a study published by researchers from Anna University and National Water Centre, UAE University, by the year 2100, a stretch from Adyar near Foreshore Estate to Thiruvanmiyur which lies on the South Chennai coast could be submerged in water. Moreover, water from the sea will enter at least 40 metres into the land from the current shore.

This will have major issues, mainly cause the mixing of seawater with groundwater, due to which the aquifer already under threat due to excessive extraction of water will further be affected. The area which was studied is 35 sqkm Bay of Bengal on the eastern side and Adyar River in the north; Buckingham Canal towards the west along with Muttukadu backwater to the south for identifying the impact of sea level rise and tidal effects on the complex aquifer.

At least 30 spots, for the study, borewells were dug. This area has water bodies all around that remain vulnerable to seawater intrusion, putting the groundwater aquifer at risk.

Three scenarios were studied including one being the high tide and low tide with sea level rise on a six-hour interval; without taking tidal effect into consideration and sea level rise and finally with sea level rise of 2mm annually up to 2100.

The simulation of the groundwater table without taking sea level rise into consideration shows a reduction in the groundwater table by a 0.35m on the Adyar to Thiruvanmiyur stretch, which will result in sea water intrusion. However, the groundwater table remains stagnant towards Thiruvanmiyur to Muttukadu.

On the other hand, if sea level rises by 2 mm each year, the simulation of the groundwater table increases the groundwater table by 0.15m from Adyar to Thiruvanmiyur and by 0.27m from Thiruvanmiyur to Muttukadu.

The simulated tidal impact on groundwater is nothing compared with the impact of sea level rise.

For the past half a century, a 3.6mm rise in sea level a year has been reported in the Bay due to melting of glaciers in the Himalayas. The rise in the Bay of Bengal is way more than any other Asian regions. The study has taken a 2007 report in consideration and mentioned that if sea level rises by a metre, 60 km of coastal inland can be inundated.
