मई में आग उगलने वाले तूफान क्यों? मौसम का न्यू नॉर्मल हो रहा है मई का महीना आते ही देश में गर्मी के चरम पर होती है, लेकिन 2026 में मई का मौसम अलग रहा। उत्तर प्रदेश जैसे राज्यों में तेज तूफान, भारी बारिश, ओले और बिजली गिरने से अब तक 90 से ज्यादा लोगों की मौत हो चुकी है। इसके साथ ही फसलें बर्बाद हो रही हैं और घरों के ढहने के मामले भी सामने आए हैं। इस असामान्य मौसम के पीछे वैज्ञानिक कारण छिपे हुए हैं, जो जलवायु परिवर्तन के प्रभाव को दर्शाते हैं। सैटेलाइट तस्वीरों में केरल से अरुणाचल प्रदेश तक 3000 किलोमीटर लंबा बादलों का एक विशाल बेल्ट दिख रहा है। इस थंडरस्टॉर्म चैनल ने पूरे देश में अस्थिरता पैदा कर दी है। लोग पूछ रहे हैं कि गर्मी के महीने में बारिश क्यों हो रही है और मौसम का पैटर्न क्यों बदल रहा है। वैज्ञानिक बताते हैं कि यह मेसोस्केल कन्वेक्टिव सिस्टम है, जिसमें मजबूत हवा ऊपर उठ रही है और घने बादल बन रहे हैं। उत्तर प्रदेश में आए तूफान ने पूरे राज्य को हिला दिया। भदोही, प्रयागराज, मिर्जापुर, बदायूं आदि जिलों में तेज हवाएं, बारिश और बिजली गिरने से लोगों की जान गई। राज्य सरकार के अनुसार ज्यादातर मौतें गिरते पेड़ों, मकानों की दीवारों के ढहने और बिजली गिरने से हुईं। इस बार तूफान की तीव्रता और बार-बार आने के कारण नुकसान ज्यादा हुआ है। मई में असामान्य बारिश के पीछे कई वैज्ञानिक कारण हैं। ग्लोबल वार्मिंग के कारण प्री-मानसून थंडरस्टॉर्म बढ़ रहे हैं। भारतीय महासागर का तेज गर्म होना प्री-मानसून वर्षा बढ़ा रहा है। वेस्र्न डिस्टर्बेंस के कारण हवा की दिशा में बदलाव बढ़ता है और तूफान बनते हैं। जेट स्ट्रीम का असामान्य व्यवहार भी तूफान और ओले के बढ़ने में मदद कर रहा है। फसलों पर भारी असर पड़ रहा है। आम के फूल झड़ रहे हैं, फंगस लग रही है। खरबूज के फल ओले से फट रहे हैं, ठंडी हवा से मांग घट रही है। टमाटर, भिंडी, मक्का आदि भी प्रभावित हैं। कृषि वैज्ञानिकों के अनुसार मई में अनियमित बारिश फलों की पकाई और गुणवत्ता दोनों खराब कर देती है। जलवायु परिवर्तन के कारण प्री-मानसून वर्षा अनियमित हो रही है। IMD के डेटा से साफ है कि प...#kerala #uttar_pradesh #imdad #indian_meteorological_department #arunachal_pradesh
Wing Commander Mandeep Singh Dhillon: IAF Helicopter Pilot Who Made the Supreme Sacrifice Saving Flood-Hit Civilians Wing Commander Mandeep Singh Dhillon (Service No. 25307 F(P)) was a revered helicopter pilot of the Indian Air Force whose life was defined by unwavering courage, professionalism, and a profound commitment to humanitarian service. On 4 July 2017, during a perilous rescue mission in the flood-ravaged region of Arunachal Pradesh, he made the ultimate sacrifice, choosing to save civilian lives over his own. His actions not only preserved countless lives but also underscored the core ethos of the Indian Air Force—service before self.

His father, Squadron Leader Puran Singh Dhillon (Retd.), served as a flight engineer on Mi-4 helicopters before transitioning to national athletics coaching. Growing up in a household steeped in service, Dhillon was instilled with discipline, resilience, and a deep sense of duty. His early education at the Rashtriya Indian Military College (RIMC), Dehradun, showcased his academic and athletic prowess, including a gold medal in cross-country running. He later joined the National Defence Academy (NDA), Khadakwasla, as an Air Force cadet in Foxtrot Squadron. Commissioned into the Indian Air Force on 19 December 1998, he opted for the helicopter stream, dedicating his career to aerial operations. Over nearly two decades of service, Dhillon developed an exceptional operational profile. He accumulated nearly 4,000 flying hours, including over 1,200 as a captain on the Advanced Light Helicopter Dhruv. His qualifications extended to roles as a Qualified Flying Instructor, Aircrew Examiner, and Instrument Rating Instructor.#indian_air_force #arunachal_pradesh #wing_commander_mandeep_singh_dhillon #rashtriya_indian_military_college #national_defence_academy

India Weather Alert: Travelers Face Unpredictable Conditions Amid Wild Weather This Week Travelers planning trips across India this week should brace for a mix of extreme weather conditions, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings about severe thunderstorms in the Northeast and heatwaves in central and western regions. The erratic weather patterns, which are typical of April’s transition from winter to summer, are expected to disrupt travel plans, particularly for those visiting hill stations, wildlife parks, and coastal areas. In the Northeast, states like Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh will experience heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning, with wind speeds reaching up to 50 kmph. While the lush greenery and swollen waterfalls of these regions will offer scenic beauty, travelers should be prepared for potential hazards such as landslides in hilly areas, roadblocks, and disruptions to air services in cities like Guwahati and Itanagar. The IMD has also warned of heavy rain in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Meghalaya later in the week, urging visitors to adjust their itineraries accordingly. The Himalayan regions, including Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, will see rains and thunder showers from April 14 to 18 due to an incoming western disturbance. While the cool climate of hill resorts like Shimla and Srinagar will attract tourists, cloud cover and occasional showers may complicate trekking and mountain road travel. Meanwhile, travelers on highways in Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh should anticipate strong gusts that could affect visibility and road conditions.#assam #india_meteorological_department #guwahati #arunachal_pradesh #meghalaya
IMD's Weather Forecast for April 2026: Travel Impacts and Regional Weather Patterns The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released its weather forecast for the week of April 11-18, 2026, highlighting significant variations in weather patterns across India. The report indicates a stark contrast between regions, with heavy thundery showers expected in the northeastern states, while central and eastern parts face heatwave threats. Northwest India, including New Delhi, will experience prolonged dry spells and rising temperatures, potentially affecting travel plans and daily life. The northeastern regions, including Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura, are forecasted to see widespread showers, thunderstorms, lightning, and strong gusts reaching 30-40 kilometers per hour from April 11 to 14. These conditions could lead to localized disruptions such as waterlogging, poor visibility, and traffic congestion. Mountainous areas are at risk of landslides due to the formation of vulnerable zones. In contrast, central and eastern India will face heatwave alerts. Isolated areas in Odisha and Chhattisgarh are expected to experience heatwaves between April 13-16. High humidity levels will accompany extreme temperatures in coastal regions of eastern India, including Gangetic West Bengal, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and parts of Karnataka. These conditions could pose health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. Temperature increases are projected across multiple regions. Northwest India, including Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), will see a steep rise of 6-8 degrees Celsius from April 10 to 16.#assam #india_meteorological_department #nagaland #arunachal_pradesh #meghalaya
Heavy Rainfall and Hailstorm Alert Issued for Multiple States The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather alert for several states and union territories, warning of heavy rainfall and hailstorms expected on April 6. The advisory highlights the likelihood of intense rain over Arunachal Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry.
