Red alert in Rajasthan
On the rising temperatures across the country, IMD scientist Naresh Kumar said, ‘There has been a lack of thunderstorms in the last few days, along with other favourable meteorological conditions – such as the formation of an anti-cyclonic circulation over northwest India – and this has led to temperatures rising above 45 degrees Celsius in the region. Currently, heatwave conditions prevail over Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, northern Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. We have issued a red alert for Rajasthan due to these extreme temperatures.’
There will be intense heat for the next two days
According to IMD scientist Naresh Kumar, ‘Severe heat conditions are expected to persist over Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, northern Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan for the next three days, while an orange alert has been issued for Punjab and Haryana. These areas are not only experiencing intense heat during the day, but also abnormally high temperatures at night, which we classify as ‘hot night conditions’. Additionally, we have issued a three-day warning for Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.’
Know when it will rain heavily
Talking about monsoon, it has entered India before time. But it will take some time for monsoon to reach North India. According to Skymet Weather report, monsoon may arrive in Delhi on 24-25 June. If this happens, then by 24 June, people of Delhi may get relief from scorching heat. The Meteorological Department has also informed that after 12 June, the weather in Delhi will change a bit and during this time thunderstorms and light rain can be seen in the capital.
