Scorching heat hits New York: Governor declares state of emergency; Heatwave set to break 125 year record
New York Governor Kathy Hochul (Image credit: AP) New York governor Kathy Hochul on Monday declared a state of emergency in several counties due to a massive heatwave that is on track to break a 125-year-old record, reports the New York Post. She urged all New Yorkers to stay informed about the weather and take necessary precautions as extreme heat and severe weather conditions are expected to continue over the next few days. The governor declared a state of emergency in 32 NY counties in response to the extreme weather conditions. A cluster of severe thunderstorms impacted regions across the North Country, Central New York, the Southern Tier, and the Capital District. This resulted in uprooting of trees and disrupting power lines, infrastructure damage and massive power outages. The state had already witnessed flash floods over the weekend. Forecasters warned that the heatwave stretching across the Northeast could push temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit on any day this week, with high humidity making it feel even hotter. According to forecasts, temperatures in New York City were expected to reach around 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday and soar to a sweltering 102 degrees on Tuesday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Furosemide, Use This Household Item To Help Drain Edema Fluid WellnessGuide Learn more Undo These temperatures have already shattered previous records, including the 96 degrees mark recorded in Central Park back in 1888.

Delhi set for monsoon arrival in two days; IMD forecasts rain, thunderstorms through the week
NEW DELHI: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast light to moderate rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds to persist across Delhi over the next week, as conditions continue to build for the imminent arrival of the southwest monsoon in the national capital. The department on Sunday said that the monsoon has already advanced into most parts of Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir and parts of Punjab. Delhi is expected to witness the monsoon's onset within the next two days as conditions remain favourable over Haryana, Chandigarh, and adjoining areas. While Safdarjung recorded a high of 36.2 degrees celsius on Sunday, 2.4 degrees celsius below normal, the weather remained dry through the day, with just 1.2 mm of rainfall in the past 24 hours and no measurable rain between 8:30 am and 5:30 pm. Minimum temperatures hovered around 28.4 degrees celsius, slightly above normal. Across Delhi-NCR, maximum temperatures ranged from 33.6 degrees celsius to 36 degrees celsius, all markedly below seasonal norms by 2–6 degrees celsius. However, humidity levels remained high, with a peak of 83%, keeping the discomfort index elevated. The IMD has forecast generally cloudy skies with the possibility of rain, thunderstorms, and lightning every day through June 28. Winds are expected to remain steady at 10–20 kmph, shifting from southeasterly to westerly directions midweek. No heatwave conditions are predicted during this period, offering some relief after a hot and humid start to June. However, the approaching monsoon system and a low-pressure area over southern Uttar Pradesh are likely to drive erratic weather spells in the coming days.
