Wind speeds of up to 75 km/hr cause significant temperature drops in Delhi

Till 7 a.m., the national capital region had been experiencing light-to-moderate rainfall, accompanied by strong winds of around 75 km/hr, causing flight disruptions and flooding in several parts of Delhi.

This is the first moderate-to-high intensity storm of the season, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), as March and April only saw dry thunder spells. The storm also caused a sharp drop in minimum temperature today, with a drop of 11 degrees Celsius occurring between 5:40 and 7 a.m. (18).

On Monday morning, Delhi’s minimum temperature was 17.1 degrees Celsius, nine degrees below normal for this time of year, compared to 23.1 degrees Celsius on Sunday.

“The highest wind speed of around 75 km/hr was also recorded at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport at 7 a.m.” “This spell is likely to have a cooling effect for the next few days as well, keeping the heatwave at bay until at least May 28,” said RK Jenamani, an IM scientist.

Between 6 and 8 a.m., wind speeds remained consistent between 40 and 55 km/hr, with a maximum speed of 75 km/hr reported at 6:56 a.m., he said.

Such summer storms, according to meteorologists, are not uncommon. This year, however, Delhi has not experienced any active western disturbances large enough to bring such heavy rain or strong winds.

“This is the season’s first moderate-to-high-intensity storm. We consider the summer season to begin on March 1st, and while we typically see 12-14 days of thunderstorms from March to May end, we have only seen 4-5 days this year. Jenamani added, “They’ve mostly been dry thunder spells.”

Palam received 27.6 millimetres of rain, while the Lodhi road area and the Ridge received 13.8 millimetres and 14.2 millimetres, respectively.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
