Summary

The Safdarjung Observatory, Delhi’s primary weather monitoring station, recorded a maximum temperature of 40.5 degrees Celsius, marking the highest reading of the year thus far. The Met office has little solace to offer as a white hot May waits its turn.

As summer tightens its grip, Delhi witnessed scorching temperatures today, April 26, surpassing the 40-degree Celsius threshold for the first time this season. The Safdarjung Observatory, Delhi’s primary weather monitoring station, recorded a sweltering maximum temperature of 40.5 degrees Celsius, marking the highest reading of the year thus far.

Adding to the concerns, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a dire warning, declaring 2023 as the warmest year on record and projecting that 2024 will surpass it in terms of temperature. IMD forecasts indicate a further intensification of rising temperatures, particularly in North and Central India, with the onset of May.

The anticipated heatwaves are expected to grip the region, posing significant challenges to public health and safety. IMD attributed this forecast to the positioning of the Sun, which is poised to exacerbate the heat stress in the coming months. Moreover, concerns loom over erratic rainfall patterns, with certain areas experiencing insufficient precipitation to replenish water reservoirs.

Earlier announcements from IMD on April 23 highlighted ongoing heat wave conditions over eastern India, with projections extending till April 28. Additionally, the Met department warned of heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds in isolated areas over Northeast India on April 23 and 24.
