These lines from renowned poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s Subh-e-Azadi (The Dawn of Freedom) exemplify the mood of the newly-opened Partition Museum at the Dara Shikoh Library in Delhi. Inaugurated by Delhi Education Minister Atishi within the Ambedkar University campus in Kashmere Gate on May 19 this year, the museum, according to Kishwar Desai, the chairperson of The Arts and Cultural Heritage Trust, is being referred to as the “people’s museum”.

It took more than a dozen blood droplets splattered on the road for nearly 100 metres to trace a grievously injured 25-year-old man, accused of breaking into an Uber driver’s car and stealing his mobile at knife point along with his co-accused, hiding inside a park.

Officers said that the incident took place Monday around 4:20 AM, when Uber driver Santosh, 35, a resident of Madanpur Khadar, was inside his car in North Delhi’s Sarai Rohilla when two persons arrived on a scooty and broke the side-window glass of the vehicle by hurling a stone at it. They pointed a sharp-edged weapon at the driver and robbed him of his mobile.

delhi rain, delhi weather, indian express

[ad_1]

Rainfall with thunderstorms and strong winds hit many parts of Delhi-NCR on Wednesday evening, while there’s more rain on the forecast for the next three days.

Parts of South, Central and North Delhi saw rainfall on Wednesday evening, along with parts of Ghaziabad, Noida, and Faridabad. The rainfall is on account of a western disturbance as a cyclonic circulation that lies over Afghanistan. Cloudy skies, and light rainfall or thundershowers are on the forecast for Delhi on Thursday, while rainfall is likely to be accompanied by hail and strong winds of 30 to 40 kmph on Friday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast. Very light rainfall is likely on Saturday as well.

The IMD has issued a ‘yellow’ alert for Delhi on Thursday and Friday, which is a warning to ‘be aware’.

With rainfall, the maximum temperature is set to fall from the 33.6 degrees Celsius recorded on Wednesday to around 28 degrees Celsius on Friday.

Multiple western disturbances have been bringing rainfall to northwest India this month. Till Wednesday, the Safdarjung weather station, which provides a marker for the city, had recorded 28.3 mm of rainfall, an excess of 75% over the normal of around 16.2 mm till March 29. The weather observatory at Palam has recorded an even higher amount of 68.1 mm this month, marking an excess of 376%. This is in contrast to the dry February that Delhi saw with no rainfall at all.

The IMD has issued a forecast for scattered to fairly widespread rainfall and thunderstorms over Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh and East Rajasthan from March 30 to April 1, along with isolated hailstorms over the region on March 30 and 31. The IMD has issued a warning for possible damage to crops due to wind and hail.

Localised showers drench north Delhi, rest of national capital remains dry

Localised showers drench north Delhi, rest of national capital remains dry

[ad_1]

While North Delhi saw a heavy spell of rain Tuesday in an event of localised rainfall, there was no shower in most parts of the national capital.

The weather stations at the Delhi Ridge and the adjoining Delhi University area recorded rainfall more than what the Safdarjung weather station, which provides a marker for the city, recorded this September so far. The weather station in the Delhi Ridge, which is a synoptic manual observatory, recorded 87 mm rainfall on Tuesday while the automatic weather station at Delhi University recorded 83.5 mm.

Much of this rainfall was recorded between 3.45 pm and 5.30 pm, according to the officials of the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The two observatories are just about 3 km apart, officials said. They added, the southern parts of the city mostly remained dry.

While eight weather stations in Delhi, including Safdarjung, recorded no rainfall at all between 8.30 am and 5.30 pm, two stations recorded only traces of rain, and Najafgarh recorded only light rainfall.

According to IMD officials, the localised heavy rainfall event was due to moisture-laden easterly or southeasterly winds that reached Delhi-NCR on account of a low-pressure area over northwest Bay of Bengal and the presence of a western disturbance. These weather systems also brought moderate to heavy rainfall to Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, officials said.

Overcast skies and light to moderate rainfall remain on the forecast for Delhi Wednesday. Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon has begun withdrawing from Rajasthan. The IMD said in an update Tuesday that monsoon has withdrawn from parts of southwest Rajasthan and adjoining Kutch Tuesday.

[ad_1]

Over the past three months, two out of the nine districts that the India Meteorological Department (IMD) considers for rainfall data in Delhi have recorded a ‘large deficit’ in rainfall, while five districts have recorded a ‘deficit’. Northeast Delhi and West Delhi have both recorded a large deficit of 60 per cent in rainfall from June 1 to September 2, the IMD data shows. Rainfall that is 60 per cent to 99 per cent below the normal is considered a “large deficit”.

The districts that have recorded a deficit (20% to 59% short of the normal) in rainfall over the same time period are New Delhi, North Delhi, Northwest Delhi, South Delhi and Southwest Delhi.

Little rain is likely over the next six days as well. The possibility of very light rainfall is on the forecast from September 5 to 7, and no rainfall is likely on September 3, 4, 8 and 9. Safdarjung recorded around 8.8 mm of rainfall on Friday, while the weather station on Lodhi Road recorded 18 mm.

The only district that has recorded excess rainfall since June 1 is East Delhi, which registered rainfall 20 per cent above the normal. East Delhi has recorded 668.7 mm of rainfall from June 1 onwards, while West Delhi, which has seen the least amount of rainfall over the same period, recorded only 199.9 mm.

The city as a whole has recorded a deficit of around 33%, having received 302.9 mm of rainfall against a normal of 452.1 mm. The month of August ended with the observatory at Safdarjung, the city’s base weather station, recording an 82% deficit in rainfall.

Delhi sees lowest rainfall for August since 2009

[ad_1]

The rainfall recorded in Delhi this month is the lowest that the city has seen in August since at least 2009.

This month the Safdarjung weather station has received only 41.6 mm of rainfall, recording a large deficit of around 82%. The ‘normal’ amount of rainfall for Safdarjung for the month is 233.1 mm, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

There has been no heavy spell of rainfall this month. While rainfall was recorded for 16 days in August, the Safdarjung observatory has only received very light or light rainfall. In contrast, there were only 10 rainy days in August last year, but the month saw a total of 214.5 mm.

From 2009 onwards, Delhi has not seen anything less than 100 mm of rainfall for August. For this period, the highest total for the month was recorded in 2010 – 455.1 mm. The all-time highest monthly record for August is 583.3 mm of rainfall received in 1961.

While Safdarjung recorded less than 50 mm of rainfall in August, Palam recorded 123 mm.

“Rainfall producing systems have not been favourable in August leading to less rain. There were no low-pressure systems or interaction of western disturbances with low-pressure systems affecting the city. The monsoon trough was also hardly near Delhi for most days of the month,” said IMD scientist R K Jenamani.

Delhi has also recorded a deficit in rainfall so far this monsoon. The city has recorded 352.4 mm of rainfall, 32% short of the normal of 516.9 mm from June 1 onwards. While June saw a deficit of around 67% in rainfall, July recorded an excess of 37%.

In terms of distribution of rainfall in the districts, East Delhi is the only district to have recorded an excess this monsoon – 24% above the normal. While Central Delhi has recorded rainfall that falls within the ‘normal’ range, New Delhi, North Delhi, Northeast Delhi, Northwest Delhi, South Delhi, Southwest Delhi and West Delhi have all recorded deficits.

The average maximum temperature in August at Safdarjung was 34.5 degrees Celsius, a little below the average of 35.2 degrees recorded in August last year. The average minimum temperature for the month this year was 26.5 degrees Celsius.

2 dead, a dozen injured in Monday’s storm in Delhi

[ad_1]

At least two people died while over a dozen were injured as heavy rainfall lashed several parts of Delhi on Monday afternoon. Police said a large number of trees and poles were uprooted, which damaged cars and injured people. Traffic came to a halt as many streets were lined with fallen trees.

In Central Delhi, a 50-year-old man died after a portion of a balcony fell on him outside his house near Jama Masjid. The incident took place around 4 pm.

Shweta Chauhan, DCP (Central), said, “We received a call from Sanjeevan Hospital in Daryaganj about the death. The deceased, Kailash Lal, was walking outside his house. Due to the heavy rain and storm, a portion of a balcony on the second floor collapsed on him. His son, Himanshu, tried rescuing him and took him to the hospital but Kailash was declared dead on arrival.”

A 65-year-old homeless man, who was resting near a tree on a footpath in North Delhi’s Angoori Bagh area, also died after the tree fell on him. He was with two other men, who were rescued. The deceased has been identified as Basir. His friends, Neeraj and Devender, suffered minor injuries.

According to the Delhi Police Headquarters, they received 294 calls of fallen trees till 8 pm on Monday. Police personnel across districts rushed to help people who were either stuck in traffic or trapped under damaged walls, trees or poles. Visuals showed policemen picking up victims, removing trees from the streets and clearing traffic during the rain.

Many incidents were recorded in the Central, New Delhi and North districts of the capital. Many cars and vehicles, some belonging to the Delhi Police, were also damaged because they were parked close to trees.

Police said a 37-year-old man and his family were trapped in their Creta car after a neem tree fell on it. Sagar Singh Kalsi, DCP (North), said, “The incident took place near Kabootar Market. The man, Chetan Malhotra, was with his wife and their one-year-old child when a tree fell on their car. They were trapped. Our staff rushed and rescued all of them. They are all safe.”

Staff said they are working at different places as calls of wall collapse and trees falling are piling up. Over eight calls of house collapse have been recorded, said officials, adding that they also received calls of air conditioners falling from a building on Parliament Street and causing damage to cars and auto-rickshaws plying on the road. Nobody was reported injured.

A Delhi Fire Services official said their teams have also been called to help remove uprooted trees and poles from the street, help people and ease traffic. Atul Garg, DFS Chief, said, “In less than an hour, we received over 32 calls of trees falling in Connaught Place this evening. Our teams worked to help locals.”
