Delhi News Live Updates: City Experiences Record-High Demand with Summer Heat, Relief in Sight
Delhi residents face intense summer with power demand hitting a record high, but hope for relief comes as the India Meteorological Department forecasts partly cloudy skies and thunderstorms.
The scorching summer has been especially harsh for Delhi, with the city’s power demand reaching a record high. On Wednesday, residents can expect partly cloudy skies accompanied by heatwave conditions and warm nights. However, relief is potentially on the horizon as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts a possible thunderstorm with gusty winds on Thursday, promising a welcome change from the extreme temperatures.
Record-breaking temperatures
- Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 41 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, six degrees above the normal temperature.
- The IMD has attributed the extreme heat to the prevailing weather pattern, which usually brings in a seasonal monsoon.
Relief in sight
- On Thursday, the IMD predicts a generally cloudy sky with the possibility of a thunderstorm accompanied by gusty winds reaching speeds of 30-40 kmph.
- This change in weather is expected to bring relief to residents as the city struggles with record-breaking power demand.
Mohalla buses set to begin operations
- Around 280 mini electric mohalla buses, previously parked due to a lack of indigenous compliance certificates, are now ready to start operations.
- Initially proposed by the previous AAP government, the project was delayed as manufacturers failed to provide certificates confirming the use of domestic components.
- The BJP government has now decided to launch the service, improving last-mile connectivity in narrow, densely populated areas.
Conclusion
As Delhi experiences its record-high power demand, the promise of relief from the IMD’s forecast offers a silver lining. With the introduction of mohalla buses, residents will have improved access to transportation, easing their summer struggles. It will be interesting to see how the city responds to these developments and adjusts to the changing weather patterns.
