Relief from intense heat expected soon
Though the arrival of high clouds would reduce the temperature, humid heat is likely to persist due to the arrival of humid winds. The radiative heating has increased and due to this extensive increase during the last few days, the temperature in most places in the state has remained much above normal, the IMD indicated. According to S Sunil Pandey, weather scientist at CSA University, there is no possibility of any major change during the next couple of days. As a result, the heat wave and hot night conditions prevailing in western UP are likely to continue till June 13. However, due to light clouds in the next five days, there is a possibility of drizzle/light rain locally along with strong winds, thunderstorms between June 14-15. The city on Wednesday recorded maximum temperature as 41.9 degree Celsius. tnn

(Keshav Singh/HT) While the Sector 39 observatory recorded 211.8 mm rain through the month, the Airport observatory recorded 207.5 mm. The highest single-day rainfall of 39.2 mm was recorded on the intervening night of July 30 and 31. Last year too, the city had received below average rainfall at 178.4 mm — 35% below normal. Despite the deficit, IMD has forecasted a near-normal monsoon this year, with high chances of rain in the first week of August. Met officials have also issued a yellow alert for the week, predicting heavy rain in isolated parts. Notwithstanding the rain deficit, the maximum temperature remained average through July. The highest maximum temperature recorded was 36.9°C on July 27, the lowest 'high' in the past 12 years. The average maximum temperature was 33.5°C, lower than last year's 35.8°C — the highest in a decade. The lowest minimum temperature this July was 24.3°C, on July 10, but well above the 10-year low of 21.8°C in 2020. In the last 10 years, the city has recorded surplus July rain only on three occasions – 321.4 mm in 2019, 463.1 mm in 2022 and 760.7 mm in 2023. IMD's Chandigarh centre director Surender Paul explained that the rain deficit this month was due to the weak eastern disturbances originating from the Bay of Bengal, which affect the tricity and nearby lower foothill regions such as Roopnagar. 'But the overall monsoon conditions appear to be favourable. Residents can expect intermittent rain throughout August,' he added.
