Delhi Monsoon Delayed Past June 27: Latest IMD Prediction, Next Expected Date & Peak Heatwave Advisory
The people of Delhi have yet to receive the southwest monsoon which has been delayed since its usual date of June 27. The delay in the monsoon front has kept the hot and humid weather prevailing in the National Capital Region despite the continuous progress of the monsoon through northern India. As per the latest information received from the India Meteorological Department the monsoon is showing favorable signs to move towards Delhi-NCR.
Why Has the Monsoon Been Delayed?
The southwest monsoon is supposed to come to Delhi on June 27th, but this time the progress of the southwest monsoon seems to have been delayed due to a break in its journey in western and central India.
According to meteorologists, changes in the atmosphere have been responsible for this delay of the southwest monsoon’s journey in the northern direction. Despite the southwest monsoon progressing through various other regions, it has failed to reach Delhi.
When Is the Monsoon Expected to Reach Delhi?
As per the latest information by IMD, there seems to be no sign of a long delay until mid-July. Rather, favorable weather is developing for the onset of the monsoon in Delhi-NCR in the coming days. Several forecasts are indicating late June to early July for the onset of the monsoon. Light showers and thunderstorms will precede the onset of the monsoon rains.
What Weather Can Delhi Expect Before the Monsoon Arrives?
Before the monsoons set foot in the capital, it is predicted that Delhi will continue to have warm and humid weather.
As per the prediction by the IMD, partly cloudy sky with occasional light rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds is expected during the coming days. The day temperature is predicted to hover between 39°C to 41°C.
Is There Still a Heatwave Risk?
However, although it is a bit cooler than it was at the beginning of June, residents must not expect an end of the heatwave.
Heat stress can be greatly increased by a combination of heat and humidity. According to health specialists, people need to refrain from spending too much time outside in the afternoon, consume sufficient amounts of water, wear light clothes, and take care of elderly relatives and infants.
The IMD is monitoring the heat situation in northern India, but heat waves can still be expected in other regions due to precipitation.
Why the Delay Matters
The arrival of southwest monsoon season is not only essential for cooling purposes but also for supplying water, agricultural activities, and for air quality.
A delayed start implies an increase in demand for power usage, heat stress, and also slow progress in the level of pollution. However, it is worth noting that meteorologists have indicated that a delayed start does not imply that the season will experience below-normal precipitation levels.
What Should Residents Do Until the Monsoon Arrives?
Given that the weather is expected to stay hot and humid for the next few days, it is advisable that the residents drink plenty of fluids, minimize exposure to the outdoors, and watch out for any weather-related warnings, particularly those related to thunderstorms and gales.
Drive cautiously because there might be instances when isolated thunderstorms can bring about low visibility and flooding of the roads even before the monsoon season hits.
