How did the storm Yagi that originated in China reach Delhi-NCR, did the Bay of Bengal pull it?

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Delhi-NCR. When people of this area woke up on Thursday morning, it was raining. More rain and strong winds have also been predicted for the next two days. It is not that this condition is only of Delhi-NCR. Heavy to very heavy rains can occur in many other states between 11 and 14 September. These states are Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, part of Northern Madhya Pradesh.

Apart from this, there may be rain in some areas of eastern Uttar Pradesh, eastern Rajasthan, Chandigarh, western Rajasthan, Punjab. Why is it causing more rain at the time when the monsoon leaves? Normally, the monsoon remains on its way back by 15 September. But this time it is not even thinking of leaving. It has planned to leave by the end of the first week of October.

How did storm Yagi come to our country… watch this video below

What is the matter of cyclone Yagi and the Bay of Bengal?

Actually, at this time, a depression is formed over north-west Madhya Pradesh. Adjacent to it is the part of south-west Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, this depression was not here. It was formed in the Bay of Bengal. Due to the formation of this depression, the storm Yagi present towards Vietnam got support. A pull was created. Yagi kept getting pulled towards it.

Behold the beauty of the tropical cyclone in this depression, which mimics the cyclone’s structure. Thanks to low vertical wind shear, it has developed well. As it enters the westerlies’ wind shear, the maximum rainfall will shift to its northern or northeast sector in 2 days. pic.twitter.com/kkV8aJ1ZpQ

Now it has met this depression. This depression is moving towards the north-west direction at a speed of 8 km/hr. Its effect is being seen more in Gwalior, Agra, Jhansi and Aligarh. In the next 24 hours, it will slowly move towards north-north-east. Doppler radars of Delhi and Lucknow are keeping an eye on this weather.

The problem here is that the monsoon trough is still there. It will remain there for the next 3-4 days. Due to this, cyclonic circulation is taking place over South Gujarat. So overall, for the next 2-3 days, there will be chances of such rain in some areas of the states being talked about.

Will there be more such storms?

This is the season of tropical intraseasonal circulation globally. That is, at this time there are many monsoon circles over the western Pacific Ocean. That is, a new depression system is forming every day. Mostly outside the Philippines. These are called monsoon gyres. Due to these, tropical cyclones or storms can form in the next one week. Due to these, India’s monsoon can last a little longer. It will not be able to go back.

The weather is hard to predict

All the extreme disasters that will occur from 1973 to 2023 have been studied in this new report. The surprising thing is that whether it is the floods in Delhi, Gujarat, Telangana, Rajasthan, landslides in Wayanad or the skin-melting heat this time, scientists and experts cannot predict their occurrence because their intensity and quantity increases suddenly. 90 percent districts of Assam, 87 percent districts of Bihar, 75 percent districts of Odisha and 93 percent districts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana can be troubled by extreme floods anytime.

The Indian LPS and Cyclone Yagi’s remnants are currently 1,636 km apart. The Indian LPS successfully evaded merging with Cyclone Yagi. While it will ultimately collide with the Himalayas and dissipate, a merger could have extended its lifespan. Wishing it the best nonetheless. pic.twitter.com/lD4yiiTHSV

Abinash Mohanty, the main scientist who conducted this study, said that now the heat is flowing from the land towards the sea. As has happened in Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Due to this, the heat of the sea is increasing further. This affects the weather. For example, Srikakulam, Cuttack, Guntur in South India and West Champaran of Bihar, which were earlier known for floods, are now facing drought. This is happening more especially in the plains.

The weather is changing, it is clearly visible … some signs too

The effect of changing weather is clearly visible. Landslide in Wayanad. Flood in Gujarat after heavy rains. Snow disappears from Om Parvat in Uttarakhand. Weather changes suddenly and water accumulates in cities. Now look at this year’s monsoon. It was weak in June. But after that, its intensity and quantity have increased in September. The surprising thing is that the weather used to be a little cold during monsoon. But this time the heat is not reducing. The number of dry and hot days is increasing in the eastern states.

As the enhanced convective phase of the global tropical intraseasonal circulation is building over the western Pacific basin, the large scale Monsoon gyre is seen developing offshore Philippines. This large scale gyre would provide favorable conditions for synoptic scale systems… pic.twitter.com/cVf82ZBXmy

Former Meteorological Department scientist Anand Sharma says that climate change and rising temperatures are the biggest reasons for such seasonal changes. Therefore, it is important to stop it in any way. Otherwise, extreme weather events can happen anywhere and at any time. These can also be very frightening.
