February 19, 2023 becomes the hottest day in two years in this season on the year, in Delhi

Delhi records highest maximum temperature for February in two years

February 19, 2023 becomes the hottest day in two years in this season on the year, in Delhi

Delhi on Sunday recorded a maximum temperature of 31.5 degrees Celsius, seven notches above the season's average and the highest in the month in two years, the India Meteorological Department said.
The minimum temperature settled at 11.4 degrees Celsius, normal for the season, it said.
The relative humidity oscillated between 50 per cent and 95 per cent.
The weather department has predicted shallow fog for Monday morning. The maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to settle at 32 and 12 degrees Celsius, respectively.
At 6 pm, the 24-hour air quality index (AQI) in the national capital stood at 332, under the 'very poor' category.
An AQI between zero and 50 is considered 'good', 51 and 100 'satisfactory', 101 and 200 'moderate', 201 and 300 'poor', 301 and 400 'very poor', and 401 and 500 'severe'.
On Friday, the maximum and minimum temperatures settled at 29.6 and 11.7 degrees Celsius

The meteorological department has issued a yellow alert, warning of thundershowers and gusty winds towards Wednesday afternoon or evening in the national capital.
The Safdarjung Observatory, the city's base station, recorded a minimum temperature of 29.4 degrees Celsius, two notches above normal. The maximum temperature is predicted to settle around 40 degrees Celsius.
On Tuesday, a cloud cover had cocooned Delhi, causing the maximum temperature at the Safdarjung Observatory to drop below 40 degrees Celsius for the first time this month.
Consecutive western disturbances and lower-level easterlies predicted in the coming days are likely to keep the heat at bay.
The India Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert, warning of thundershowers or light rain over the next six days. The mercury is predicted to drop to 35 degrees Celsius by Sunday.
Since June 1, when the monsoon season starts, the national capital has not recorded any rainfall. Usually, it receives 13.8 mm of rainfall in the first 13 days of the month.
Mahesh Palawat, vice-president (climate change and meteorology), Skymet Weather, said the monsoon is expected to arrive in Delhi around the usual date -- June 27 -- or a day or two in advance.
Last year, the IMD had forecast that the monsoon would arrive in Delhi nearly two weeks before its usual date. However, it reached the capital only on July 13, making it the most delayed in 19 years.
Palawat said there is a very slim chance of heatwave conditions returning to Delhi now. The weather will become clear after June 21 and dry westerly winds will commence but a steep rise in temperature is not predicted.
The capital has recorded a maximum temperature of 42 degrees Celsius and above on 26 days so far this summer season, the highest number of such days since 2012, according to IMD data.
In 2012, the city recorded a maximum temperature of 42 degrees Celsius or above on 30 days. The number of such days was 35 in 2010, the highest in the 1951-2022 period, the data showed.
The city has seen six heatwave spells this summer, the deadliest being in mid-May when the maximum temperature soared to 49 degrees Celsius at some places.
The latest heatwave spell began on June 2 amid the absence of strong western disturbances and an onslaught of hot and dry westerly winds. 

Rain relief for Delhi: thundershowers likely on Wednesday; heatwave unlikely to return, says expert

It is hardly the end of spring and the India’s weather bureau has already predicted heatwaves across northwest India over the next 2-3 days.
People living in places like Delhi,  western Rajasthan, Jammu, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, parts of Saurashtra, Kutch and western Madhya Pradesh have been experiencing a warmer March. In the past few days, maximum temperatures have been 4°C to 6°C above normal with temperatures soaring above 40°C in some cities
The higher temperatures and heatwave conditions are being attributed to scarce rainfall in March. According to the Met Dept, The rainfall deficit in March so far stands at 72% to 88% over northwest India, 85% over central India, 59% over east and northeast India, and 14% over the south peninsula, 
On March 1, the met department had predicted normal rainfall , i.e 83%-117% for the month across the country.
Another reason for the rise in mercury levels in north India according to the weather dept is the hot wind blowing from Pakistan and Rajasthan.
The Met dept said that sometimes moist winds from Bay of Bengal or Arabian Sea bring light showers and break the heat spell but that has not happened this year. A prolonged dry spell has been predicted

Weather disasters are striking the world four to five times more often and causing seven times more damage than in the 1970s, the United Nations weather agency reports.
But these disasters are killing far fewer people. In the 1970s and 1980s, they killed an average of about 170 people a day worldwide. In the 2010s, that dropped to about 40 per day, the World Meteorological Organisation said in a report Wednesday that looks at more than 11,000 weather disasters in the past half-century.
The report comes during a disaster-filled summer globally, including deadly floods in Germany and a heat wave in the Mediterranean, and with the United States simultaneously struck by powerful Hurricane Ida and an onslaught of drought-worsened wildfires.
&ldquo;The good news is that we have been able to minimise the amount of casualties once we have started having growing amount of disasters: heatwaves, flooding events, drought, and especially...intense tropical storms like Ida, which has been hitting recently Louisiana and Mississippi in the United States,&rdquo; Petteri Taalas, WMO's secretary-general, told a news conference.
&ldquo;But the bad news is that the economic losses have been growing very rapidly and this growth is supposed to continue," he added. "We are going to see more climatic extremes because of climate change, and these negative trends in climate will continue for the coming decades.&rdquo; In the 1970s, the world averaged about 711 weather disasters a year, but from 2000 to 2009 that was up to 3,536 a year or nearly 10 a day, according to the report, which used data from the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters in Belgium. The average number of yearly disasters dropped a bit in the 2010s to 3,165, the report said.
Most death and damage during 50 years of weather disasters came from storms, flooding and drought.
More than 90% of the more than 2 million deaths are in what the UN considers developing nations, while nearly 60% of the economic damage occurred in richer countries.
In the 1970s, weather disasters cost about $175 billion globally, when adjusted to 2019 dollars, the UN found. That increased to $1.38 trillion for the period from 2010 to 2019.
What's driving the destruction is that more people are moving into dangerous areas as climate change is making weather disasters stronger and more frequent, UN disaster and weather officials said. Meanwhile, experts said, better weather warnings and preparedness are lessening the death toll.
Susan Cutter, director of the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina, noted progress in learning to live with risk and protecting ourselves.
&ldquo;On the other hand, we're still making stupid decisions about where we're putting our infrastructure," she said. "But it's OK. We're not losing lives, we're just losing stuff." Samantha Montano, an emergency management professor at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and author of the book &ldquo;Disasterology,&rdquo; said she worries that death tolls may stop decreasing because of the increase in extreme weather from climate change especially hitting poorer nations.
&ldquo;The disparity in which countries have had the resources to dedicate to minimising disaster deaths is of huge concern," particularly due to climate change, she said.
Hurricane Ida is a good example of heavy damage and what will probably be less loss of life than past major hurricanes, Cutter said. This year, she added, weather disasters &ldquo;seem to be coming every couple weeks,&rdquo; with Ida, US wildfires and floods in Germany, China and Tennessee.
The five most expensive weather disasters since 1970 were all storms in the United States, topped by 2005's Hurricane Katrina. The five deadliest weather disasters were in Africa and Asia - topped by the Ethiopian drought and famine in the mid 1980s and Cyclone Bhola in Bangladesh in 1970.
