The country did not benefit from the early monsoon: stuck in Karnataka for 8 days; No pre-monsoon rains, so Lu returned

Monsoon arrived in the country, it was 3 days early, but now it is stuck around Karwar in Karnataka for 8 days. Chances of it moving rapidly for the next 4-5 days are also less. Therefore, it may reach the central, northern, and western states of the country a few days late. Although Monsoon rains started in lower parts of Tamil Nadu on Tuesday, normally by June 8, the monsoon should have crossed the entire Tamil Nadu and reached Andhra Pradesh.

For example, as the monsoon reaches Mumbai on June 10, this time due to its slow pace it is expected to be delayed. No storm or low-pressure area is forming in the sea. For this reason, the pace of the monsoon has stopped. On the other hand, the pre-monsoon rains in the country have also been very less so far.

Pre-monsoon rains in India have been reduced by 37% till June 7. These conditions are when incessant rains are continuing in the northeastern states. Coming to the North-West, the pre-monsoon rains have reduced by 94% so far. This is the reason that the heat wave has started again in North and Central India, which may continue for the next 2-3 days.

8.5-degree difference in temperature in Delhi at a distance of just 18 km

The Mausam Bhawan center at Lodhi Road in Delhi recorded a minimum temperature of 25.2 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature at the center at Pitampura was 33.7 degrees Celsius. Meteorologist RK Jenamani says that the reason for such a huge difference in night temperature at a distance of just 18 km is the 'Urban Heat Island' effect. Night temperatures are relatively high in densely populated areas, as there is no air movement due to tall buildings.

After the heat of the day, the heat remains trapped there. Concrete-covered ground and buildings absorb heat. Also, due to the use of AC and heat-generating equipment, such areas become heat islands i.e. 'Urban Heat islands'. On the other hand, on Lodhi Road, where trees and vegetation are more, greenery and there is enough distance for air movement between buildings, there is no heat in the morning.

There is a possibility of reaching 4-5 days late in the remaining states
