Wind coming from Pakistan-Afghanistan is making India hot, extreme heat will trouble the country for a week more

The main reason for rising temperatures in North-West India is the weakening of El Nino in the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, the hot air coming towards India from Pakistan and Afghanistan has made a big difference. The Meteorological Department (IMD) believes that a large part of North India may have to face extreme heat for a week. A continuous increase in temperature can be seen.

On Sunday also, the maximum temperature was recorded more than 45 degrees in many parts of Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. In some places, it even went above 47 degrees. Due to the absence of pre-monsoon conditions, there is no hope of respite from the heat at present. This time even Madhya Pradesh and Bihar have not remained untouched by the heat wave.

A red alert has been issued by IMD for Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi, and Western Uttar Pradesh. The remaining portions of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar are under a yellow alert. According to an IMD study on the causes of North India's extreme heat, the Sun is fully direct in North India in May. At this time, the wind from Pakistan also shifts to the north of India. As a result, the temperature rises quickly.

Occasionally, this air condenses and rains as a result of cyclones. The temperature drops by four or five degrees Celsius as a result. However, there isn't a similar symptom this time. The hot air coming from the Pacific Ocean is flowing from northwest to south-east through Pakistan. It is gradually moving towards Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. Due to no snowfall or rain, the temperature is continuously rising.

According to IMD DG Mrityunjay Mahapatra, generally heat wave conditions in India last for ten days. This time in April, there was extreme heat in the states of South India. Now effective in North India. There is no hope of relief for the next seven days. It may extend to Bihar. Apart from other reasons, the weakening El Nino has also been said to be responsible for the rising temperature in North India.

IMD's study says that when El Nino starts weakening, the temperature in India starts becoming higher than normal. There are two climate patterns in the Indian continent – El Nino and La Nina. Both are opposite to the other. If one is effective then the other becomes weak. El Nino is currently active in the Pacific Ocean, but it is gradually weakening. It will end by July and Lanaina's conditions will come into effect. According to the Meteorological Department, there is slightly more rainfall than normal during Laninya.
