In its week-long weather forecast, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has not predicted any heatwave conditions but has forecast strong surface winds for the upcoming days.
In June, Andhra Pradesh received 152.1 mm of rainfall, significantly higher than the normal 94.1 mm
The number of heat wave days has been on the rise, but data maintained by government agencies differs from each other.
Delhi on January 5 woke up to a cold and foggy day with minimum temperature recorded at 2.8 degrees Celsius at Lodhi Road. At Safdarjung, it was 3 degrees Celsius, the lowest for this season. This makes the Capital colder than Dharamsala, Nainital and Dehradun.
The agency, which functions under the Ministry of Earth Sciences of the central government, has decided to conduct an inquiry into the unusual event.
