Why are we sweating in May when we should ideally be getting “cooked” at this time of the year? • The anti-cyclonic circulation, which usually pushes dry and hot westerly winds across India, has remained largely inactive since mid-April. As a result, feeble Western Disturbances along with surface-level easterlies have continued to influence east and north India — triggering rains, thunderstorms, and keeping temperatures under check. • Maximum temperatures over the last few days have hovered between 33°C and 37°C in the national capital, Delhi, whereas temperatures during the first 10 days of May would ideally be around 41–42°C. Moist winds possess a higher heat capacity and warm more slowly, which prevents extreme daytime heating. However, the higher humidity significantly increases the “real feel” temperature, leading to excessive sweating compared to dry heatwave conditions. What changes lie ahead • Another feeble Western Disturbance, along with surface easterlies, is expected to trigger dust storms and isolated rainfall across the plains of north India during 11th–13th May. This will continue to keep temperatures under control, although a gradual rise of 1–2°C from current levels is likely over the next three days. • As this weather pattern weakens and moves away, the anti-cyclonic circulation is expected to gradually re-establish itself over west India, pushing dry westerly surface winds into the plains and interior parts of the country. At present, these westerly winds are largely confined to Rajasthan and Gujarat. On 10th May afternoon, Jaisalmer recorded 45.6°C, Barmer 45.4°C, and Ahmedabad 42°C. • Once the dry and hot westerly winds advance further inland, temperatures are set to rise across Punjab, Haryana, Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and the remaining parts of Rajasthan, reaching 40–43°C during 13th–16th May, with a further rise anticipated thereafter. • From mid-May onwards, heatwave conditions are expected to make a comeback across most parts of west and central India, along with a few parts of north India.

A feeble Western Disturbance is approaching northwest India, as visible in satellite imagery. It is nowhere close to being a massive WD, as claimed by a few, and unnecessary hype is being created around it. The feeble WD will interact with easterlies and trigger isolated to scattered dust storms, short spells of rain, and thundershowers across Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and a few parts of north & east Rajasthan and west Uttar Pradesh during 11th–13th May. The activity will mainly occur between evening and early morning hours. Avoid getting caught in unnecessary panic and stay updated with weather updates from trusted sources.

Hot weather conditions likely across west Rajasthan, Gujarat MadhyaPradesh, & Maharashtra as maximum temperatures are expected in the range of 40 to 45°c at most stations. While the day temperatures are in the range of 35 to 39°c in Delhi, Haryana, UttarPradesh, Chandigarh & Punjab - high humidity powered by easterly winds will keep the discomfort high. Sweating weather conditions ahead for north India over this weekend. #Summers #Heat
