Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to receive rains amidst unusual weather conditions
Strange weather patterns are currently affecting the Telugu states, with the sun shining alongside a slow progress of the monsoon. The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a significant statement indicating that light to moderate rains are anticipated in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana due to the influence of a trough in the atmosphere.
This trough, extending from Madhya Pradesh through Vidarbha to Telangana at an altitude of 0.9 km above mean sea level, is expected to bring rainfall. Additionally, a secondary trough has formed between 3.1 and 4.5 km above mean sea level, stretching from northern Tamil Nadu through interior Karnataka into southern Maharashtra.
The Hyderabad Meteorological Centre has reported that the winds in Telangana are currently blowing from the west-northwest, enhancing the likelihood of moderate rain across the region.
On Tuesday, residents in districts such as Bhadradri Kothagudem, Khammam, Nalgonda, Suryapet, Mahabubabad, Rangareddy, Hyderabad, Medchal Malkajgiri, Vikarabad, Sangareddy, Medak, Kamareddy, Mahabubnagar, Nagarkurnool, Wanaparthy, Narayanpet, Jogulamba, and Gadwal can expect light to moderate rain, along with thundershowers and gusty winds of 40 to 50 kmph.
In terms of temperature, Adilabad is predicted to see a maximum of 40.5 degrees Celsius, while Medak will experience a minimum of around 27.3 degrees Celsius.
In Andhra Pradesh, the Amaravati Meteorological Centre has also forecasted light to moderate rain in several areas of Alluri, Annamaya, Chittoor, and Tirupati districts. In contrast, districts including Vizianagaram, Manyam, Alluri, Kakinada, Konaseema, Thugo, Pago, Eluru, Krishna, NTR, Guntur, Bapatla, Palnadu, Prakasam, and Nellore are set to face scorching temperatures, with maximums ranging from 41 to 42.5 degrees Celsius.

Signs with weather info, heat precautions put up in markets across Delhi
Alterable signs showing weather information of the day and preventive heat measures have been put up in at least 15 markets in the city to spread awareness among the vendors and visitors. These include Lajpat Nagar, Defence Colony, and others. The initiative by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and Greenpeace India aims to make weather information more accessible and for people to be cautious during heatwave conditions.

(Sanchit Khanna/HT Photo) The colour-coded signs — changed by the market volunteers on a daily basis — contain heat range information of the day, maximum temperature, precautionary measures like water reminder and clothing advice, and forecast of the day. These can be changed depending on the temperature, with four different sets for temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees Celsius. The IMD had held a workshop last week where voluntary workers were trained on weather measurements and data, heat protection measures, and their role in spreading awareness. These boards can be seen in markets such as New Friends' Colony, near the Lotus Temple in Kalkaji, Vigyan Bhawan, and Kalyanpuri. 'The signs have been put up in at least 15-20 markets in different areas, including Defence Colony, Lajpat Nagar, Mayur Vihar Phase-3, Nehru Place, Vigyan Bhawan, and Kalyanpuri,' said Parmatma Prasad, a book vendor at a market in New Friends' Colony. The signs have also been put up near tourist sites, such as near the Lotus Temple and the Red Fort. Prasad along with mehendi artist Kuldeep Singh manage the sign in the NFC market. 'The sign and the training have definitely been helpful. We didn't understand the precautions to be taken as per the heat intensity, now we are aware. The sign also reminds me to drink more water,' Singh said. Some other areas where the signs have been installed are Naraina Vihar, Sangam Vihar, and Punjabi Bagh. 'Now, members of different workers associations themselves will roll these out,' said Nibedita Saha, a member of Greenpeace.

Heatwave season checks out of city
New Delhi: With the monsoon expected to reach the city within the next four days, the heatwave season has officially come to an end. This year, Safdarjung — Delhi's base weather station — recorded only three heatwave days, all in April. However, some parts of the city experienced up to nine heatwaves in April and June. Last year, Safdarjung recorded 14 heatwave days in the summer. Regular spells of rain and thunderstorms this year helped keep temperatures in check. "Heatwave conditions are unlikely now. In this season, only two spells of heatwaves were recorded as showers and thunderstorms led to excess rainfall in north-west India in May," said Krishna Kumar Mishra, scientist, India Meteorological Department . The first streak of heatwave was recorded from April 6 to 10 and Safdarjung reeled under three such days. May was relatively better due to frequent rain and thunderstorms interventions, which prevented the mercury from rising above normal. The second spell of heatwave lasted from June 9 to 12. While on June 9, Ayanagar station met the heatwave criteria, Ayanagar, Lodhi Road and Ridge experienced heatwave conditions on June 10. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Ayanagar again logged heatwave conditions on June 11 but June 12, only one station — Mungeshpur in northwest Delhi — reported heatwave conditions. Heatwaves are mostly recorded from the second week of April to mid-June. Of the 14 heatwaves recorded last year, six consecutive days were reported from May 26 to 31. Eight additional days were witnessed in June. Though Safdarjung did not record a single heatwave in 2023, the summer of 2022 saw 13 heatwave days, including nine in April and four in May, according to IMD. Explaining the reason behind Delhi not recording any heatwave in May this time, Mishra said, "There were frequent western disturbances across northwest India, lower-level easterlies from the Bay of Bengal and lower-level south-westerlies from the Arabian Sea in May. Due to these three components, Delhi saw more than normal episodes of rain accompanied by thunderstorms in May." In May, Safdarjung logged 186.4mm of rainfall, an excess of 507%. Even before the arrival of the monsoon, June so far has already recorded excess rainfall at 87.8mm against the normal average for the month of 74.1mm. IMD defines a heatwave day as one when the maximum temperature is 4.5 degrees and more above normal temperature and the maximum is at least 40 degrees Celsius or if the maximum temperature touches 45 degrees Celsius or above. A 'severe' heatwave is when the maximum is 6.5 degrees and more above normal.

"Conditions are also becoming favourable for further advance of the southwest monsoon over the remaining parts of J&K, Ladakh; some parts of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi in the subsequent two days. " Last year, the monsoon arrived in Delhi on June 25 with the highest single-day precipitation since 1936 of 228.1mm. The season, however, ended with a 19% deficiency.
