Over 100 flights were delayed and at least 17 diverted on Friday after a spell of strong showers in the afternoon. Most diversions took place between 3:30pm and 4:30 pm, officials said.

R K Jenamani, met head at IGI airport, said an ‘intense’ spell of rain occurred between 2.30pm and 3.45 pm with wind speeds touching 40km/hr. “The wind direction changed four times during this period, making it difficult for flights to land. It must be understood, however, that a number of flight disruptions and diversions had nothing to do with peak wind speed, but the height of thunderstorm clouds that stand at flight path and trigger wind shear while flights are descending,” Jenamani said. Delhi’s maximum temperature on Friday was 34.1 degrees whereas the minimum was 24.6 degrees Celsius.

Mumbai, Colaba 75mm, Santa Cruz 61mm/ 2017

2017 : The Times of India (Delhi) Mumbai gets a month's quota of rain in 24 hrs by Richa Pinto


The city experienced yet another intense downpour, the second time this season, receiving almost as much rain over Tuesday and Wednesday as it usually does in an entire month. Data from India Meteorological Department (IMD) indicated that in 24 hours, starting 8.30am on September 19, Mumbai recorded about 304mm of rainfall [???], just shy of the 312mm average [???] set for the entire month of September. It was also the second wettest September day in IMD's over 100-year recorded history. “The IPCC has said owing to climate change we'll keep seeing such heavy rain over short intervals,“ said Prof Kapil Gupta from the department of civil engineering at IIT Bombay and an expert on urban flooding. The impact was mostly felt in western suburbs like Andheri, Borivali, Dahisar, Dindoshi, where many streets were under water, especially those adjoining subways connecting eastern and western parts. Railway and road transport were unaffected as traffic was thin owing to the government's proactive decision to shut down schools and colleges. Heavy rains lasted till Wednesday morning before the low pressure zone, which caused it, moved away from the region. Incidentally , the total rain recorded was barely 27mm less than that recorded on August 29, the last such day on which heavy rain lashed the metropolis. By Wednesday morning, however, the weather system weakened and showers became intermittent.

Rain recorded by IMD's Colaba observatory over 12 hours from 8.30am to 8.30pm on Wednesday was 75mm while IMD's Santacruz observatory recorded 61mm in the same period. Weathermen said persistent weather systems in both the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal had led to heavy cloud formations, but the system had started to move westwards. “The low pressure in the Bay of Bengal has moved westwards and now it's over Chattisgargh. From this, one trough extending through Madhya Maharashtra gave Mumbai this intense rain activity ,“ said IMD's deputy DG (western region) K S Hosalikar. He dismissed talk of a cyclone building up in the region. Prof Gupta said a combinations of reasons, including the urban heat island effect, had led to the spell of heavy rain.

21-25 Sept, 2018 very heavy rainfall in four northwest Indian states

North pounded by heaviest two-day rainfall in 3 years/ Wettest Sept In Himachal Since 2004 by Amit.Bhattacharya@timesgroup.com


The remnant of cyclone Daye, which hit Odisha coast last Saturday and surged inland, brought the wettest weather seen over north India in three years. The system dumped an average of 38.9mm of rain on Sunday and Monday, the highest two-day spell of rainfall in the region since July 2015, with Himachal Pradesh witnessing its rainiest September in at least the last 14 years. (i.e. since 2004? )

Monday 24 was the wettest September day over north India since 2014, India Meteorological Department (IMD) records reveal. It was also the 'heaviest day of rain in the region, for any month, since July 2016.

“North India saw extreme weather over the past few days caused by the interaction of moisture brought in by cyclone Daye in the form of low pressure with a westerly system that circulated that moisture across the region,” said K J Ramesh, director general of IMD.

Himachal Pradesh was ground zero of the deluge. In four days, the state received nearly 33% more rain than its normal for the entire month of September. Rainfall totalling 166.7mm battered the state during this period, triggering flash floods and landslides. Normal rainfall in the state for the whole month of September is a little more than 125mm.

The most severe weather in Himachal was on Sunday 23. The state was pounded with an average of 67.9mm of rain, more than 15 times the normal. That day, the wettest districts of Una and Hamirpur were deluged with more than 96mm of rain, over 16 times the normal in the case of Una.

“After this intense spell, Himachal Pradesh has so far received 255mm of rain in September. It is the highest rainfall in the state during the month since at least 2004. Rain records earlier than 2004 are not readily available,” said Manmohan Singh, head of Himachal’s Met department in Shimla.

The four-day wet spell lifted the monsoon figures of Haryana — which had a seasonal deficit of 22% on September 21 — to well within the normal range at an overall shortfall of just 8%. Punjab’s deficit of 16% (as on September 21) was wiped out and the state now has a monsoon surplus of 10%. The deluge, however, has reportedly caused damage to standing paddy and cotton crops in the region.

Yamuna crosses danger mark

Yamuna crossed the ‘danger’ mark of 204.83 metres on Tuesday 25 morning and was flowing above the 205m mark by the afternoon after the release of more than 10 lakh cusecs of water from the Hathni Kund barrage since Monday

Northwest India

“On Sunday, 19mm of rain was recorded over northwest India, which was 533% of the normal for the day. Monday’s 19.9mm rainfall was 454% of the normal. It the wettest day in the region since July 17, 2016, when 20.6mm was recorded,” said A K Srivastava, head of IMD’s climate monitoring and analysis group.

Northwest India is a meteorological region comprising J&K, Himachal, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana (including Delhi and Chandigarh), Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

The rainfall also lifted the countrywide monsoon deficit, which was 10% on September 21, to 8.5%, brightening the possibility of this year’s rainfall ending up in the below-normal range (between -4 and -10%). A shortfall of greater than 10% is termed as a deficient monsoon, popularly known as a drought year.

2018 Yamuna continues to swell, now at ‘severe’ level TIMES NEWS NETWORK


After crossing the ‘danger’ mark on Tuesday, Yamuna’s water level continued to rise on Wednesday and was recorded at 205.79 metres in the evening, almost one metre above the danger level. The water level continued to rise after more water was released from the Hathni Kund barrage in a staggered manner.

The sudden rise in water levels had forced chief secretary Anshu Prakash to hold a review meeting on Tuesday, issuing directions to get tents erected and evacuation work to begin as soon as possible to clear low-lying areas near the river. According to the district magistrate, around 1,400 tents have been erected in six districts so far with 598 people evacuated following the sudden increase in water.

According to the Central Water Commission (CWC), on Wednesday the water level was classified in the “severe” category which is the highest warning level for a river.
