No rain despite predictions by MeT Deptt, Skymet
NEW DELHI
THE MeT department and private weather forecaster Skymet Weather had made forecast of rain in the national capital on June 12 but the prediction did not turn out true.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had predicted dust storm, thunder storm with light rain, while the Skymet weather had made a forecast of “heavy rains” over Delhi and NCR on June 12. The IMD said it did rain in a few areas in the national capital, while the Skymet Weather said the trough approaching Delhi fizzled out before it could reach the national capital. The IMD’s Safdurjung observatory recorded two squalls -- one from 6.48 PM to 6.49 PM and second at 6.58 PM to 7 PM. However, no rainfall activity was recorded. Several parts of Delhi witnessed dust storm. It also resulted in the Delhi airport suspending its operations.
