    Weather Updates: Rainfall Intensity to Increase in Delhi from Tuesday

    Weather Updates: Despite higher rainfall forecasts for all of North India from Tuesday, the Indian Meteorological Department will reportedly take another day or so to evaluate how much showers will intensify over the National Capital Region.

    With the trough of the southwest monsoon shifting towards northern India once again, large parts of Delhi received light but incessant showers overnight, making for a cool Sunday morning.

    The temperature in Delhi ranged from a cool minimum of 24.3 degrees Celsius on Sunday, four degrees below Saturday’s minimum, and three notches below normal, while the maximum was normal at 35°C. 

    Delhi’s base weather station, Safdarjung, received 30 mm of rainfall from 8.30 am on Saturday, adding another 1.2 mm of light rain during the next nine hours till 5.30 pm.

    The effects of the change of the monsoon trough are likely to bring about an increase in rain intensity from Tuesday, however, the amount of moisture being brought to Delhi will have to be assessed in the next 24 hours, the India Meteorological Department said.

    “There will certainly be an increase in the intensity of rains on Tuesday or Wednesday, with the trough shifting northwards again,” said RK Jenamani, a scientist at the weather office. “By Monday, we will know better how much moisture is expected to come towards the region, and based on that, a forecast on the intensity of rains expected can be made.”

    Prior to Saturday and the early hours of Sunday, the Capital had only been receiving isolated drizzles, with some parts receiving mild showers. 

    While Delhi has a green alert in place for the next six days, indicating no major weather phenomenon, the IMD has forecast light to moderate rainfall from Wednesday until next Monday. Its forecast for Monday shows isolated drizzles in parts of the capital, while Tuesday’s forecast shows light rainfall.

    Delhi’s air quality index dropped down to a reading of 61 (satisfactory) on Sunday, as per Central Pollution Control Board’s daily bulletin, an improvement from 81 at 4 pm on Saturday.

  • Weather Updates: Amarnath Yatra Suspended Due to Turbulent Weather

    Weather Updates: Amarnath Yatra Suspended Due to Turbulent Weather

    Weather Updates: The Amarnath Yatra was temporarily suspended on Thursday, July 14, due to inclement weather. Another batch of over 5000 pilgrims was denied permission to move towards the holy cave. 

    Officials said no Yatri was allowed to move from Baltal or Pahalgam base camp towards the cave shrine on Saturday due to inclement weather. “Only helicopter services operated from both the routes yesterday. 869 pilgrims had Darshan at the cave shrine yesterday as the total number of pilgrims who have performed the Yatra so far crossed 1.64 lakhs.

    Earlier, the Yatra was stopped after the cloudburst on July 8 where at least 15 people, mainly Amarnath pilgrims, died and dozens went missing after flash floods caused landslips near the shrine.

    Meanwhile, officials of the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board said 1,44,457 pilgrims have performed the Yatra so far while 16,457 of these had Darshan on Wednesday. Another batch of 5,449 pilgrims left Bhagwati Nagar base camp in Jammu in two escorted convoys for the Yatra.

    Of these, 1666 are going to the Baltal base camp, and 3783 are to the traditional Pahalgam base camp.

    The Baltal route is shorter and requires pilgrims to trek 14 kilometres to reach the cave, while the Pahalgam route is the longer, more traditional route, which requires pilgrims to trek 48 kilometres for four days to reach the cave shrine.

    Helicopter services are available on both routes for the Yatris.

    The annual 43-day pilgrimage commenced on June 30 (after a gap of over two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic) from the twin base camps—Nunwan in Pahalgam of south Kashmir’s Anantnag and Baltal camp in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district.

    The Yatra is scheduled to end on August 11 on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan.

  • Weather Updates: Why IMD’s Forecasts are Failing

    Weather Updates: Why IMD’s Forecasts are Failing

    Weather Updates: A big disappointment in Delhi has been the poor forecast by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The monsoon arrived in the national capital towards the end of June and however welcome the rain was, it was also a little disappointing for residents.

    There were several yellow and orange alerts given by the IMD but all of them missed the mark completely.

    Monsoon forecasts have failed measurably in the case of Delhi due to the poor interpretation of the data projected. According to experts, weather prediction is a mathematical exercise largely dependent on the accuracy of the data and how this is analysed through highly technical calculations.

    Even a slight miscalculation of this data can lead to several inaccuracies of various degrees, which is common when there is no major active system present in a locality.

    Experts claim that although scientifically the weather forecast system has improved in a major way during the last five years, weather developments are still tough to predict in a fool-proof way.

    The Director-General of the IMD, Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, elucidated the complexity of weather prediction and why in certain cases even the top-most body fails to read it correctly.

    Mohapatra explains the forecasting issues, “Forecasts can’t be 100 percent accurate, although our 24-hour forecast is correct by almost 80 percent and we have improved it by almost 40 percent in the last five years. Even the five-day forecast is more accurate and the accuracy rate is almost 60 percent.”

    However, Mohapatra also accepted that there is much scope to improve in years to come.

    IMD is working continuously to improve its system with technological advancements and other systemic changes through the new models. As of now, IMD has 34 active radars through which it gathers information. Six radars have been added in the last three years.

    Mohapatra claims, “We are going to increase the number of radars. By 2025, the total number of radars in the country will be 65. In the next few years, we have decided to place four more radars in the Western Himalayan region, 10 radars in the Northeastern region, and 11 additional radars in the plains of North India.”

    Monsoon hits Kerala, 3 days ahead of normal date: IMD

    The southwest monsoon arrived over Kerala Sunday, three days ahead of its normal onset date of June 1, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

    This is only the fourth occasion since 2010 when the onset of southwest monsoon over Kerala happened before time (June 1). As per IMD records, the monsoon had arrived earlier than usual in 2010 (May 31), 2017 (May 30) and 2018 (May 29). The earliest onset over Kerala since 2005 was recorded in the year 2006.

    As one of the world’s biggest producers and consumers of farm goods, India relies on monsoon rains for watering nearly 50 per cent of its farmland that lacks irrigation.

    “South-west monsoon has set in over Kerala on Sunday, May 29, against the normal date of onset of June 1,” said Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, Director General, IMD.
