Delhi Swelters As 'Feels Like' Temperature Reaches 54.4 Degrees Celsius, No Relief In Sight
Last Updated: While the recorded air temperature in the capital hovered around 46 degrees Celsius, the oppressive humidity levels pushed the heat index to levels rarely seen in the city The national capital reeled under a searing heatwave on Thursday as the city's 'feels like' temperature — or heat index — shot up to a staggering 54.4 degrees Celsius, the highest so far this season. The sweltering conditions, driven by high humidity and air temperatures, have prompted a red alert from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), with officials warning that no significant relief is expected before Sunday. According to weather experts, while the recorded air temperature in the capital hovered around 46 degrees Celsius, the oppressive humidity levels pushed the heat index to levels rarely seen in the city. 'The high heat index reflects both temperature and relative humidity and directly impacts how the human body perceives the heat," an IMD official was quoted as saying by TOI. Neighbouring regions, including parts of Haryana and Punjab, also reported extreme conditions. Gurgaon recorded its warmest night of the season with a minimum temperature of 30.1 degrees Celsius, while daytime highs in districts like Sirsa and Rohtak touched 48 degrees Celsius. In Punjab, Bathinda recorded a peak of 46.8 degrees Celsius. 'Usually, we expect some pre-monsoon activity by mid-June, but this year it's been unusually dry and hot. While light showers and thunderstorms are forecast from Sunday onwards, they may only bring marginal relief," the IMD official added. The red alert remains in place for Delhi and surrounding states, with authorities advising residents to stay indoors during peak afternoon hours, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities. Medical professionals have also urged the public to watch for signs of heat-related illnesses like heatstroke and dehydration. The main distinction between temperature and the heat index lies in what they represent: temperature is the actual measured air temperature, whereas the heat index—also called apparent temperature or 'feels like" temperature—reflects how hot it feels to the human body.

Monsoon Likely To Cover Most Parts Of Northwest India By June 25: Report
New Delhi: The southwest monsoon, which regained momentum this week, is expected to cover most parts of northwest India, including Delhi, by June 25, well ahead of the usual dates, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. The primary rain-bearing system reached Kerala on May 24, marking its earliest onset over the Indian mainland since 2009, when it arrived on May 23. Aided by strong low-pressure systems over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, the monsoon advanced quickly over the next few days, covering parts up to central Maharashtra, including Mumbai, and the entire northeast by May 29. However, it stalled from May 28-29 until June 10-11 before becoming active again. The lack of rainfall since early June led to a sharp rise in temperatures, triggering heatwave conditions across large parts of northwest and central India since June 8-9. According to the IMD's extended range forecast, the monsoon is now likely to cover the remaining parts of central and eastern India and some areas of northwest India by June 18. It is expected to advance over most of northwest India between June 19 and June 25. An IMD official said the system is likely to reach Delhi by June 22-23, ahead of the normal onset date of June 27. Meteorologists say the date of monsoon onset does not directly correlate with the total seasonal rainfall. An early or delayed arrival in Kerala or Mumbai does not necessarily indicate similar progress in other parts of the country. They say the monsoon is influenced by complex global, regional and local factors, marked by significant variability. In May, the IMD forecast that India is likely to receive 106 per cent of the long-period average rainfall of 87 cm during the June-September monsoon season. Rainfall between 96 and 104 per cent of this 50-year average is considered "normal". Above-normal rainfall is expected in most parts of the country, except Ladakh, adjoining areas of Himachal Pradesh, the northeast, and some parts of Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha. Some isolated areas in Punjab, Haryana, Kerala and Tamil Nadu may record below-normal rainfall. The monsoon is crucial for India's agriculture sector, which supports the livelihood of around 42 per cent of the population and contributes 18.2 per cent to the GDP. It also plays a key role in replenishing reservoirs essential for drinking water and power generation.

Water shortage continues in Noida, relief expected by Friday
1 2 3 Noida: The ongoing water crisis in Noida entered its fourth day on Thursday, with several sectors grappling with dry taps following the shutdown of the Ganga water supply due to pipeline repairs. Officials have said the supply will likely resume by Friday. Water supply has been disrupted in Sectors 105, 31, 71, 119 and nearby areas, affecting thousands of residents. In Sector 105 and its adjoining localities such as Sector 108, HIG, and Judge Colony, around 10,000 people are facing an acute drinking water shortage. "The supply of drinking water has been disrupted since June 9 due to the Ganga water shutdown by the Noida Authority. Residents are forced to buy potable water from outside, and water motors have been damaged due to dry pipelines," said Divya Krishnatreya, RWA president of Sector 105. RP Singh, deputy general manager of the Water and Sewer Department at Noida Authority, said repair work is underway. "A major pipeline breakdown occurred on Sunday. Normal supply will resume from Friday. In the meantime, we are managing supply with available groundwater resources. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mensualités: Bonne nouvelle pour les propriétaires étouffés par les crédits Bons plans propriétaires En savoir plus Undo Residents in need can request tankers," he said. However, residents say the backup arrangements have been inadequate. In Sector 71, residents reported no tanker supply despite repeated requests. "There's no water, and power cuts have made it worse. Despite repeated calls, no one responded. Not a single tanker arrived," said Pradeep Mishra, RWA general secretary of Metro Apartment. In Sector 31, resident Praveen Singh urged officials to provide immediate relief. Sector 77, part of the densely populated 7X belt, also faced severe shortages. "We bought flats here for a better lifestyle, but every year we face basic issues like water and electricity," said Sunita Singh, a resident. Frustration is mounting across Noida over recurring supply issues. "Why does Noida face clean water shortages year after year? If the supply can be stopped for weeks in the name of maintenance, what's the point of development?" asked Prashant Tyagi Vats, a resident of Sector 105. Several RWAs said the situation should be escalated to the state government for a lasting solution. "Despite our contacts up to Lucknow, we're still struggling, especially in this heat," said OP Yadav, RWA president of Arawali Apartments, Sector 52. The crisis has underlined the city's fragile infrastructure and rising demand for uninterrupted basic services. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
