There is news of relief for the people of the national capital Delhi and North West India battling the scorching heat. Due to the effect of active Western Disturbance, there is a possibility of rain in most areas for the next three days i.e. till May 26. This will provide relief from the scorching heat.
At present, the maximum temperature in most areas has crossed 40 degrees. It has also crossed 45 degrees in Delhi and some other places. According to the Indian Meteorological Department, due to light rain and strong wind, the heat is expected to reduce in the coming days. Western Disturbance is hitting North West India. Its effect has started to be seen in Jammu and Kashmir. It has rained at some places in UP as well. On May 24-25, its effect will be seen in North West India, Delhi-NCR.
Due to El Nino there is a possibility of less than average rainfall in the country
The impact of El-Nino on Monsoon is expected to start from June. Major climate models predict below average seasonal rainfall over many parts of the country during June to September. India usually records less than average seasonal rainfall (June–September) during El Nino events.
Due to this, there is a delay of a few days in the onset of monsoon over Kerala. Analysis of monsoon forecast data indicated that rainfall during the monsoon period would be 25 millimeters (mm) less than the average. The Southwest Monsoon is currently a few weeks away from the Indian subcontinent and there is a weak chance of its rapid intensification.
The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the warm phase of a climate pattern in the tropical Pacific, will influence the southeast monsoon, climate scientists from the University of Reading, UK, have said after taking stock of three climate models. According to the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, La Nina, like El Niño, is a cooling phase of ENSO. In such a situation, Uttarakhand will be affected the most.
Agricultural production will not be affected:
According to weather forecast service provider Skymet, since 70 per cent of India’s population is directly or indirectly dependent on monsoon patterns, excess or deficit rainfall, floods or droughts have a profound impact on lives.
