According to IMD Director General M. Mohapatra, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) is inspecting the temperature sensor at Delhi’s Mungeshpur automatic weather station to make sure it is functioning properly. The temperature in India today was 52.9 degrees Celsius, according to this weather station.
An Unusual Temperature In Delhi
According to Dr. Mohapatra, out of Delhi’s 20 monitoring stations, 14 have shown a decrease in temperature, with an average of 45 to 50 degrees Celsius observed throughout the city. He claimed that the tape has to be verified and that the Mungeshpur station is an “outlier.”. A thorough examination is necessary of the Mungeshpur recording, while some observatories in Delhi recorded a slightly higher temperature.
According to Dr. Mohapatra, a group of experts has traveled to Mungeshpur to inspect the temperature sensor. He further surmised that the reason for this high recording might be due to local conditions in the Mungeshpur area.
“The maximum temperature over Delhi NCR varied from 45.2 to 49.1 degrees Celsius in different parts of the city. Mungeshpur reported 52.9 degrees Celsius as an outlier compared to other stations. It could be due to an error in the sensor or a local factor. IMD is examining the data and sensors,” an IMD said in a statement later this evening.
IMD Head Explains The Temperature Rise
“Earth Sciences Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “It is not official yet. A temperature of 52.3 degrees Celsius in Delhi is very unlikely. Our senior officials in IMD have been asked to verify the news report. The official position will be stated soon.”
India Meteorological Department (IMD) regional head Kuldeep Srivastava gave an explanation for the temperature increase, stating that hot winds from Rajasthan first affected the city’s outskirts.
Parts of Delhi are particularly susceptible to the early arrival of these hot winds, worsening the already severe weather. Areas like Mungeshpur, Narela, and Najafgarh are the first to experience the full force of these hot winds,” he told the PTI news agency.
The Delhi Rain
On this second day of unprecedented heat, the temperature was over nine degrees Celsius higher than predicted and had risen above the 2002 record of 49.2 degrees Celsius.
On Wednesday night, there was also a brief downpour in Delhi, which is probably going to increase the humidity.
