Heat wave to return in parts of Vidarbha and Marathwada of Maharashtra

Heat wave conditions were prevailing over many parts of Maharashtra particularly in districts of North Madhya Maharashtra, Vidarbha and Marathwada till April 15, wherein day temperatures were exceeding 40˚C.

Thereafter, due to scattered rain and thundershower activities over all these areas, temperatures decreased significantly over the entire state of Maharashtra and dropped to below 40˚C.

However, now once again due to the absence of any significant weather activity and change in wind direction since the last few days, temperatures in Maharashtra are following a rising trend.

At present, many parts of Vidarbha and North Madhya Maharashtra are witnessing heat wave like conditions with maximum temperatures above 40˚C.

Yesterday, the maximum temperature recorded by Akola was 42.2˚C, followed by Parbhani 41.9˚C, Brahmapuri 41.7˚C, Amravati 41.6˚C, Malegaon 41.2˚C, Wardha 41.2˚C, Jalgaon 40.8˚C, Chandrapur 40.5˚C and Solapur 40.4˚C.

Now due to further rise in day temperatures, heat wave condition will make an appearance in isolated pockets of Vidarbha region in Maharashtra.

Due to the north-south trough running close to the vicinity of Vidarbha, sky in eastern parts of Vidarbha and Marathwada may become partly cloudy but chances of rain and thundershowers are very less. Still light rains cannot be ruled out.

Delhi to witness a week of 'Loo' accompanied with temperatures crossing 40 degrees

After a rainy episode last week, Delhi is now gearing up for some summer heat. Yesterday, Safdarjung Observatory in Delhi recorded the maximum temperature at 37.2 °C.

In the absence of any weather system and the blowing of hot and dry northwesterly winds from Rajasthan, the coming days are going to be hot for Delhi.

Although a Western Disturbance is approaching the hills, but the system will not be strong enough to bring in or influence any weather in the Plains.

An incremental rise in temperatures is expected to take place starting today onward in the city. Forecasters at Skymet expect today’s temperatures to reach the mark of 38 °C, while tomorrow it touch 39-degree mark. Day after tomorrow that is on Wednesday the maximum temperatures will be recorded at 40 degrees. After this the temperatures are only going to rise further even crossing the 40-degree mark.

No rains are in bags for Delhi, for at least next one week. Although, the temperatures in the line of 37 and 38 degree Celsius are a normal sight at this time of the year, however, the week ahead seems promising above normal temperatures. Days will be windy and a ‘loo’ like condition cannot be ruled out.

Rains to continue over Telangana and Andhra Pradesh for next 24 hours

During the last 24 hours, fairly widespread rain and thundershower activities associated with lightning strikes and thunder squalls were witnessed over North coastal Andhra Pradesh, with a comparatively less intensity over the state of Telangana. Although, Hyderabad still managed to receive scattered rain and thundershowers in the afternoon hours.

As of now, these pre-monsoon activities are likely to continue for another 24 hours. Now, we expect Telangana to also receive good rain and thundershower activities during the next 24 hours as the Confluence Zone continues to extend from Gangetic Bengal to Interior Karnataka while passing through Odisha and parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Therefore, these activities are only going to pick up pace.

At the same time, scattered activities are likely to continue over North coastal Andhra Pradesh. Intensity of these activities will also increase over Telangana. However, Rayalaseema will only get subdued Monsoon activities. However, isolated rain and thundershower activities cannot be ruled out over Rayalaseema as well.

Due to these activities the temperatures over, Coastal Andhra Pradesh will remain below normal, but Telangana will be hot and humid.

After 24 hours, activities will subside over Telangana, but coastal Andhra Pradesh may continue with on and off rain and thundershower activities.

These pre-monsoon activities will now continue with an on and off intensity throughout the Pre-Monsoon season because of the formation of a semi-permanent trough or Confluence Zone extending from Eastern parts of the country to South Peninsula. It will keep oscillating from East to West. Sometimes, activities intensify over Andhra Pradesh and sometimes over Telangana. Therefore, the weather is not expected to go dry completely over these states and the pre-Monsoon activities will continue.

West Bengal, Odisha to continue receiving rains and thundershower for next 24 hours

During the last 24 hours, Gangetic West Bengal and North coastal Odisha received intense thunder-squall as well thundershower activities. These activities were due to a Confluence Zone extending from Gangetic West Bengal to Telangana and Interior Karnataka. Humid winds from Southeast, blowing over Bay of Bengal were merging with hot and dry winds from Northwest over the area leading to Convective Cloud formation and subsequent thundershower and rainfall activities. Lightning strikes were also very frequent in this rain episode.

Now, this Confluence Zone is likely to persist for another 24 hours. Therefore, we expect rain and thundershower activities with strong surface winds, lightning strikes and Nor’westers like activities to continue over Gangetic West Bengal as well as over Odisha during the next 24 hours.

Thereafter the intensity will go down, however the weather will not go completely dry. On and off activities are likely to continue.

This is the favorable time during the Pre-Monsoon season that these activities intensify. When the temperatures rise and there is moisture incursion, Nortwester or Kal Baisakhi becomes violent.

We expect a few more incidents of these activities to re-occur during the month of April. In the month of May, the intensity of such episodes is likely to increase even further with the rising temperatures.

पूर्वी भारत के मौसम में ज़्यादा उतार-चढ़ाव नहीं दिखेगा। हालांकि ओड़ीशा से झारखंड तक बनी ट्रफ के प्रभाव से झारखंड, पश्चिम बंगाल और ओड़ीशा में कुछ स्थानों पर आंधी और बादलों की गर्जना के साथ बारिश के आसार हैं। कहीं-कहीं पर बिजली भी गिर सकती है। यानी काल बैसाखी का मौसम देखने को मिल सकता है।

पूर्वोत्तर भारत में हल्की से मध्यम बारिश जारी रहने की संभावना है। जबकि पूर्वी उत्तर प्रदेश और बिहार में मौसम शुष्क होगा।

मध्य भारत में छत्तीसगढ़ तक बंगाल की खाड़ी से आर्द्रता पहुंच रही है क्योंकि एक ट्रफ बनी हुई है। राज्य के कुछ हिस्सों में हल्की बारिश की संभावना है।

[Hindi] बारिश के बावजूद चंद्रपुर, नांदेड़, नागपुर में बढ़ेगी गर्मी, मुंबई और पुणे में भी बढ़ेगा तापमान

पिछले 24 घंटों में, महाराष्ट्र के कुछ हिस्सों में यानी मराठवाड़ा, मध्य महाराष्ट्र, विदर्भ और कोंकण क्षेत्रों में शुष्क और बहुत गर्म मौसम की स्थिति बनी हुई है। हालांकि, बीते दिन विदर्भ के नागपुर में छिटपुट बारिश देखी गई लेकिन यह गर्मी से राहत देने में सफल नहीं रहीं। वास्तव में, विदर्भ के कुछ हिस्सों में, दिन का तापमान 40˚C से अधिक दर्ज किया जा रहा है, जिससे भीषण लू जैसी स्थिति पैदा हो गई है।

कल, परभनी ने अपना अधिकतम तापमान 42.1˚C दर्ज किया, अकोला 41.7˚C, चंद्रपुर 41.4˚C, ब्रह्मपुरी 41.3˚C, अमरावती 41.2˚C, जालना 41.2˚C, नंदपुर 41˚C, येओतमल 40.5˚C, जलगाँव 40.4˚C और मालेगाँव 40.2˚C।

अब वर्तमान में, एक ट्रफ विदर्भ के करीब से होके गुजर रही है। इस ट्रफ की उपस्थिति के कारण, अगले 24घंटों के दौरान कुछ स्थानों में तेज़ हवाओं तथा गरज के साथ बारिश होने की उम्मीद है। फिर से, हम यह कहना चाहेंगे कि ये बौछारें केवल क्षणिक राहत लाएंगी क्योंकि ये बौछारें श्याम के वक़्त होंगी।

इस बीच, महाराष्ट्र के बाकी हिस्सों में शुष्क और गर्म मौसम की स्थिति बनी रहेगी। शुष्क और गर्म हवाओं के चलते, राज्य में 22 अप्रैल से तापमान में धीरे-धीरे बढ़ोतरी देखी जाएगी।

राजधानी मुंबई भी तापमान में वृद्धि का अनुभव करेगी। इसलिए, शहर में साफ आसमान के साथ बहुत गर्म और आर्द्र मौसम की स्थिति रहने की उम्मीद है।

ये शुष्क मौसम की स्थिति अगले कुछ दिनों के दौरान महाराष्ट्र के अधिकांश हिस्सों में जारी रहने की संभावना है। इसके अलावा, आने वाले सप्ताह के बाद, राज्य के कुछ हिस्सों में हीट वेव की स्थिति भी वापसी करेगी जो की फसलों के लिए खतरनाक होगी।

वर्तमान में राज्य में गर्म और आर्द्र मौसम की स्थिति देखी जा रही है क्योंकि ये गतिविद्धियाँ दोपहर या शाम के समय में दर्ज की गई थी। इस प्रकार, दिन के तापमान पर कोई प्रभाव नहीं पड़ा।

ये सभी मौसम की स्थिति बंगाल की खाड़ी से आती गर्म और नम हवाओं की वजह से हो रही है, जो पश्चिम बंगाल की खाड़ी के ऊपर एक एंटी-साइक्लोनिक सर्कुलेशन की उपस्थिति के कारण है। इसके साथ ही एक ऊपरी ट्रफ भी झारखंड से ओडिशा तक देखी जा सकती है।

इन प्रणालियों की उपस्थिति के कारण, अगले 24 से 36 घंटों के दौरान कुछ स्थानों पर गरज के साथ हल्की से मध्यम बारिश होने की संभावना है।

अगले 24 घंटों के दौरान, ओडिशा के दक्षिणी भागों में मध्यम बारिश और गरज के साथ तेज़ हवाओं से जुड़ी गतिविधियाँ होने का अनुमान है। कोरापुट, मलकानगिरी, रायगड़ और गंजम जैसी जगहों पर बारिश का अनुभव हो सकता है, जबकि भुवनेश्वर, अंगुल, नबरंगपुर और भद्रक में हल्की बारिश और गरज के साथ बौछारें पड़ सकती हैं।

इसके बाद, प्रणाली कमजोर होने के कारण बारिश की तीव्रता में भी कमी आएगी। इसके चलते, तापमान में भी वृद्धि देखी जाएगी।

Delhi metro to become first in the world to run on 100 percent solar power

Delhi Metro has a pretty good reputation and stands in line with the metro networks of London, Shanghai, Beijing, and New York as all these have a network of more than 300 kilometers. Now, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) plans to take it further with the introduction of a greener edge to the same.

In a bid to become world's first 100 per cent green energy metro rail network, Violet Line in Delhi Metro has now started running on solar power received from the massive Solar Power Plant back at Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa. This is for the first time that DMRC is outsourcing its solar powered. Otherwise, until now Delhi Metro only utilized solar power generated on its own stations for functions such as lighting and air conditioning. Now, however the solar energy will be used for the operation of the trains as well.

According to the DMRC statement, in a calendar year, on an average, around 345 million units (MU) of power will be received from Rewa. In the year 2018-19, Delhi Metro consumed about 1092 MU of power for its operations.

At present, DMRC uses solar energy for almost 60% of its electricity needs. It plans to run all its operations on solar by 2021. Once this is done, it would become the world’s first 100% green energy metro rail network.

And not only this, with this initiative, DMRC expects to save over Rs 41 crore.

This shift by DMRC is one step forward towards a greener future and sets a very nice example for many more projects to come.
