Weather / Why heatwave started in February, IMD told the reason

IMD Weather Forecast and Heatwave: Right now the month of February is going on and record-breaking heat has started in many states across the country. The maximum temperature in the national capital Delhi was recorded at 31.4 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, while the maximum temperature was 33.6 degrees on Monday. At the same time, in some states the temperature has reached above 35 degrees. Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned and said that due to the heatwave in the coming days, the temperature can break the record. But, do you know why it is so hot in the month of February.

Why did it start getting so hot in February itself?

People often used to feel cold in the month of February, but this time the weather has shown a different form and a strange change is being seen. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there can be many reasons for the rise in temperature. The Meteorological Department said that the clear sky, slow wind speed and change of wind direction towards the south-east could be the reasons for the increase in temperature. Along with this, the Meteorological Department said that due to the non-activation of the Western Disturbance, an increase in temperature is also observed.

The minimum temperature in Delhi is three degrees above normal

Dense fog enveloped the national capital Delhi and its neighboring areas today (February 22) morning, which is unusual in this month. Due to this, a slight drop in the minimum temperature was observed and the minimum temperature in Delhi was recorded at 14.6 degree Celsius, three degrees Celsius more than normal.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that the dense fog is unusual because the capital has been recording higher than normal temperatures for the past few days. On Monday, the maximum temperature at Safdarjung Observatory, the main weather station in the national capital, was recorded at 33.6 degrees Celsius, nine notches above normal, making it the third hottest February day since 1969. Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 31.4 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, which was seven notches above normal. A senior meteorologist said that this temperature is often seen in the first 15 days of March.
