Delhi remains hot despite fall in temperature and thunderstorm forecast; high humidity keeps feels-like temperature at 50.3°C
NEW DELHI: Several areas of the city saw a fall in the maximum temperature by up to 6.1 degrees Celsius on Friday, but the heat and humidity left the people thirsting for a respite. With the 'feels like' temperature, or the heat index, at 50.3 degrees Celsius, the day was sweaty, hot and bothersome. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now On Thursday, the city saw the warmest day of the season with a heat index of 54.4 degrees Celsius. However, a change in the weather pattern led to the development of a trough line that infused moisture into the region, leading to thunder activity in a large part of north-west India and a fall in temperatures. The weather scientists explained that there was also an active western disturbance, which would increase the possibility of prolonged thunder activity in the region, including parts of Delhi. The winds also turned easterly from the earlier warm westerly in the entire north Rajasthan, including Jaipur, Delhi and in Punjab, including Amritsar and Ludhiana, which facilitated moisture influx from the Bay of Bengal to northwest India. "We are not expecting any escalation in temperature or the possibility of a heatwave," said Krishna Mishra, scientist, India Meteorological Department. "The easterly winds will maintain moisture feed and thunderstorm activity is expected for the next five days. The western disturbance is also expected to persist. So there can be thunder activities like those that occurred in May." On Friday, the city's base weather station at Safdarjung logged a maximum temperature of 41.2 degrees Celsius, a notch above normal and a drop from the 43.9 degrees Celsius recorded a day earlier, which was the warmest this season. The humidity oscillated between 51% and 69%. The winds blow in the easterly direction at speeds up to 11.1 kmph.

Elsewhere, Ayanagar and Palam both recorded a high of 40.6 degrees Celsius, Lodhi Road was at 39.1 and Ridge, at 39.3 degrees Celsius.

Wan Hai 503 drifting towards Kerala coast
KOCHI: Despite the efforts of the Indian Coast Guard and salvage team, container vessel MV Wan Hai 503 has been drifting towards Kerala's coast in the past two days. The state government has begun preparations to meet any emergency situation should the ship reach the Kerala coast. As the towline tied by Indian Coast Guard snapped on Thursday evening, the Indian Navy entered the scene and tied another towline on Friday. The vessel is currently located 28 nautical miles off Kochi coast and is drifting at a speed of 1.5 knots. The Navy, Coast Guard and salvors are toiling hard braving adverse weather conditions to tow the vessel to the deep sea. On Friday, the Navy diverted INS Sharda to join the fire-fighting operations and deployed a Seaking helicopter to help the salvage team tie the towline. Fighting heavy wind and rough sea, the helicopter winched down the salvage team on board the vessel to connect the tow line. Tug Ocean Warrior, engaged by the salvage team, is trying to keep the distressed vessel stable despite a 15 degree list on the portside. After a five-day daring firefighting operation, the Coast Guard succeeded in dousing the fire on board Wan Hai 503 on Friday afternoon. However, thick smoke continued billow from the cargo hold. The Director General of Shipping (DGS) has mobilised 5,000 kg of dry chemical powder to aid firefighting. An additional 20,000 litres of fire fighting foam is being brought from Mumbai, and additional tug has been diverted to the location to aid with the towing.
