The mercury levels in northwest plains over parts of Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi and west Uttar Pradesh took a nose dive on Friday as rain, hail and dust storms intermittently lashed the areas. Several places including Hisar and Rohtak in Haryana, Churu and Jaipur in Rajasthan and Aligarh in west Uttar Pradesh witnessed rain on Friday.
Moist southwesterly winds mingled with dry and hot northwesterly winds to produce a cloud cover, which led to fall in day temperatures, bringing relief from the sweltering heat being witnessed in the last ten days in northwest plains.
According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, day temperatures will not show any significant increase for the next two to three days in these parts. Moisture in the atmosphere and gradual rise in temperatures by noon could again lead to convection, which will continue to bring rain in some of the areas till 18th June.
Maximum temperatures also dropped in Bhopal, Gwalior, Guna, Indore and Jabalpur in Central India due to weather activities in adjoining northwest plains. Winds coming from the northwest direction were not as hot and dry as they were early this week. According to the latest weather update, day temperatures will not rise significantly in these places for the next two days.
In East India, east Uttar Pradesh and adjoining areas of Bihar will continue to experience northwesterly winds. Day temperatures that dropped due to some southwesterly component in Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna and Gaya may again rise in the next two days.
However, Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining areas of Bihar and Jharkhand will observe a marginal drop in day temperatures during this period. A cyclonic circulation over Bihar and Jharkhand will fetch southwesterly winds to pull down the temperatures.
After experiencing high tidal waves of 4.38 meters that led to flooding in low-lying areas of Worli, Shivaji Park and Mahim and several parts of south Mumbai, trapping several vehicles in the water including the Gateway of India, the commercial capital Mumbai is again gearing up for more high tides due to full moon during the next few days.
According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the situation could be grim in low lying areas also due to the fact that once Nanauk, a tropical storm in Arabian Sea moves away, monsoon rain in Mumbai which has been waiting till now would intensify during the next 72 hours.
According to media reports, the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) on Thursday issued a circular that stated that tidal waves higher than 4.5 metres are expected to hit the Mumbai coast from Friday till June 18.
Here are some of the other arrangements that have been made in the circular to counter the affects of the high tidal waves in Mumbai:
-The civic body has made arrangements to prevent any eventuality. It has asked people not to venture in to the sea. Fifteen security guards have been posted at Gateway of India in south Mumbai between 10 am to 6 pm who will prohibit people from going near the sea
-Six teams have been made for sensitive areas in the metropolis where each will comprise members of fire brigade personnel, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and lifeguards. These will be deployed in areas like Girgaon, Dadar, Juhu, Versova, Aksa beach, Gorai beach and Chowpatty beach, where there are chances of flooding.
-A special disaster control mechanism has been put in place, where a special team will be attending to emergency calls from citizens three hours before and after the scheduled time of the high tide.

It has not rained in Bangalore since 5th of June, when the city recorded 67 mm of rain and Bangaloreans are eagerly waiting for good Monsoon showers.
As predicted by Skymet, Southwest Monsoon ushered in a little early around 28-29th of May as monsoonal rain was visible around this date. Monsoon made a sluggish start this year with a very slow advancement. Accordingly, the national cumulative average Monsoon rain was deficient by a whopping 43% until the 10th June. Monsoon rain over Kerala was witnessed to be deficit by 40% while coastal Karnataka was deficit by 80%.
However with a total of 95.1 mm of rain till date, Bangalore managed to meet its monthly average of 89.1 mm of rain for June. This total rainfall amount was contributed by just 2 spells.
As the Tropical cyclone ‘Nanauk’ in the Arabian Sea moves away, Monsoon rain is expected to increase over the west coast beginning with Kerala, Karnataka and gradually expanding to cover Saurashtra. According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the storm is restricting the free flow of westerly winds, required for good Monsoon showers. As Nanauk is controlling the monsoon current and keeping all the moisture under its grip, the actual outburst of Monsoon is yet to be witnessed.
Weather in Bangalore is generally warm during the day and very pleasant during the night because of its terrain. It is a plateau and receives cool winds at nights from the nearby hills. The average rain for the monsoon months of June and July are 89 mm and 108 mm, respectively. Rain picks up with the onset of Northeast Monsoon and September and October receives 241 mm and 154 mm of rain on and average.
