The national capital region is experiencing volatile weather just when New Delhi is hosting important international diplomacy, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts sudden showers and gusty winds. Apart from possible disruption to local transit during the BRICS Summit, the meteorological department has sounded red alerts of heavy rain and thunderstorms in 18 states due to active low-pressure systems in the Bay of Bengal.
Delhi weather forecast and its effect on BRICS Summit
Alignment of monsoon trough : An active monsoon trough extends from North Haryana through Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand up to the Bay of Bengal low-pressure region, providing continuous moisture flow to central and northern parts of India. Severe weather zones : Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh pose the maximum threat due to isolated heavy rainfalls with squally winds reaching up to 60 kilometers per hour. Surface wind speed and temperature : The surface wind speed is predicted to be between 30 and 40 kilometers per hour and will pull down maximum temperature to a moderate 32 degrees Celsius against a minimum of 26 degrees Celsius. Widespread poor weather across India is a result of the well-defined low pressure system formed over the northwest Bay of Bengal region, enhanced by an extensive cyclonic circulation extending up to a height of 9.4 kilometers above the mean sea level.
Spread in the region : Heavy rainfall activity is forecast in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Jharkhand, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Uttarakhand, Vidarbha, and Gangetic West Bengal.
