Now understand the reason for the low temperature in May and when will the monsoon rains come…

Temperature decreased due to 15 storms in two and a half months, mercury will increase after May 15

Meteorologist RK Janamani says- Between April 28 and May 4, there were 3 consecutive active and strong western disturbances. It is a rare phenomenon in the last 20 years to have 3 Western Disturbances back to back within a week during the summer season. Due to this winter-like phenomenon, the day temperature dropped by 10 to 15 degrees in summer.

Mahesh Palawat, vice-president of Skymet Weather, said, there were 7 western disturbances in March, 5-6 in April and two in May. That is, there have been 15 western disturbances in the summer. There is still one more to come. Due to this, there are chances of rain for 3-4 days. The temperature will increase after May 15. Monsoon rains will start in June. In such a situation, it is going to be the shortest summer of two decades.

Central India received 226% more rainfall in April
The summer season in the country generally lasts from March to June 15. This time 7 western disturbances came in March. This resulted in 37.6 mm of rainfall across the country, which was 26% more than normal (29.9 mm). The day maximum temperature continued to be below normal during the second fortnight of March. At the same time, five Western Disturbances occurred in April, due to which it rained several times in North-Western India and the temperature remained low.

The countrywide rainfall in April was 41.4 mm, which was 5% above normal (39.3 mm). Central India normally receives 9.2 mm of rainfall in April, but this time it received 30 mm i.e. 226% more.

Pre monsoon rains may occur due to storm in Bay of Bengal
According to meteorologist RK Janamani, nothing can be said from now as far as more or less heat is concerned in June. Monsoon knocks in Kerala on June 1 and finally reaches western Rajasthan and covers the entire country by July 8, but the heat may continue till the onset of monsoon in North India.

However, if a storm develops over the Arabian Sea or the Bay of Bengal, a period of pre-monsoon rains may occur, during which the heat may subside. Whether he will be able to knock on June 1 or not, the calculation is going on, till May 15 its estimate will be revealed.

This time due to less heat, will there be any effect on the monsoon rains or not?
Monsoon rains are influenced and controlled by 15 to 16 factors. The Indian land surface temperature alone has no direct relationship with the monsoon. The Meteorological Department estimates that there may be normal monsoon rains this year.
