New Delhi: The country endured scorching heat in April and most of May.
The suffering may continue for a few more days before relief comes in the form of lower temperatures.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Monday the heatwave across India is likely to decline from May 30. Before that, severe heatwave has been predicted in northwest India over the next three days with temperatures likely to soar to 50 degrees in certain areas of Delhi and Rajasthan.
In another prediction that will please farmers and many others, IMD chief Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said that above-normal rainfall is expected this monsoon season across the country.
“The South West Monsoon rainfall over the country as a whole is likely to be 106% of the long-period average with a model error of 4%. Thus, above-normal rainfall is most likely over the country as a whole,” Mohapatra said during a virtual media briefing.
As for coastal West Bengal, heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely to continue on Monday in the aftermath of Cyclone Remal which made landfall in the coastal regions of Bangladesh, near Mongla port, and adjoining Sagar Islands in West Bengal late on Sunday night.
