– Monsoon advances over Bay of Bengal, Tripura, Meghalaya, Assam, Sikkim: will also enter Kerala, Karnataka
Mumbai: On one hand, the rainy season has arrived with torrential rains in the sea of Kerala on 30 May 2024. On the other hand, pre-monsoon rains have also created humid conditions in many parts of Maharashtra.
However, on May 30, 2024, worrying news spread that the temperature in Vidarbha, Maharashtra had reached 56.0 °C, even in the capital of India, the temperature reached 52.0 °C on May 29. It is natural for the citizens to be worried.
Mohanlal Sahu, Deputy Director General of Meteorological Department (Nagpur Center) informed Gujarat News with clarity that at present there are four (Ramdas Peth-Punjab Rao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth (PDKV), CICR-Khapri) automatic weather stations in Nagpur. It was told that on May 30, the maximum temperature of 56.0 degrees was recorded at the automatic weather station installed in PDKV area.
During investigation by our technical team, it was found that the electronic sensors in the automatic weather station of PDKV had developed technical faults and blockages due to unbearable heat and humidity. Sometimes it also happens that if the temperature exceeds 38-39 degrees Celsius, the functionality of such sensors may be hampered, as the area is large and open, so the amount of heat and cold increases in the afternoon. These factors have a direct and severe impact on the electronic sensors and there is a possibility of temperature readings being high or low.
Moreover, in our in-depth investigation, the official maximum temperature in PDKV area is not 56.0 °C but 44.0 °C.
