New Delhi: This is the hottest pre-monsoon season after 2016 in the country. Winter and post-monsoon seasons are warming up faster, according to the latest findings by the Urban Lab of the Centre for Science and Environment. According to the study, land surface temperatures in Delhi have been the highest since 2010 and the city recorded a significant positive anomaly (temperature higher than expected) on all three temperature parameters.
In a bid to understand the warming trend in a comprehensive way, the study by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has analysed the temperature trends by covering all three dimensions of heat stress — surface air temperature, land surface temperature, and relative humidity (heat index). In Delhi, the air temperature has been 1.77 degrees Celsius hotter than in 2010, and the land surface temperature is 1.95 degrees Celsius hotter, the study said, according to a PTI report.
