Delhi temperatures are expected to rise further over the weekend: IMD
Title: Bracing for the Heat: Delhi’s Rising Temperatures Forecasted to Soar Over the Weekend, warns IMD
Introduction: As the summer season intensifies, Delhi residents are bracing themselves for even hotter weather conditions. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning that temperatures in the capital city are expected to rise further over the weekend. This prediction raises concerns about heat-related health risks, the need for precautionary measures, and the significance of addressing climate change to combat such extreme weather events.
Rising Temperatures and Heatwave Conditions: Delhi’s residents are already experiencing sweltering temperatures as summer grips the city. The IMD’s forecast suggests that the mercury is set to climb even higher over the coming weekend, potentially entering the range of a heatwave. Such extreme heat can have severe consequences, including heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and other heat-related illnesses, especially for vulnerable sections of society.
Impact on Daily Life: The scorching heat can significantly impact daily life in Delhi. Outdoor activities become challenging, and individuals, particularly those engaged in labor-intensive work, are at a higher risk of heat-related health issues. The rising temperatures can also strain essential services like electricity, water supply, and transportation, highlighting the need for infrastructure preparedness to cope with the increased demand during peak summer months.
Precautionary Measures for Public Safety: To ensure public safety and minimize the impact of soaring temperatures, it is crucial for individuals and authorities to take precautionary measures. Staying hydrated, avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours, and wearing light, breathable clothing are essential practices. The government and relevant agencies should also implement measures such as providing cooling centers, increasing access to drinking water, and creating public awareness campaigns to educate citizens about heatwave safety.
Climate Change and the Need for Adaptation: The rising temperatures in Delhi are not isolated events but part of a broader global trend attributed to climate change. As greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, the frequency and intensity of heatwaves are expected to increase. This emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive climate change mitigation strategies, including reducing carbon emissions, promoting renewable energy, and investing in climate adaptation measures to protect vulnerable communities.
Urban Heat Island Effect: Delhi’s urban landscape exacerbates the heatwave conditions due to the urban heat island effect. Rapid urbanization, concrete structures, and limited green spaces lead to the absorption and retention of heat, contributing to higher temperatures in the city compared to surrounding rural areas. Addressing this issue requires a focus on urban planning, sustainable infrastructure, and the creation of green spaces to mitigate the urban heat island effect and improve the city’s resilience to extreme heat.
Collaborative Efforts: Addressing the challenges posed by rising temperatures requires a collaborative effort between the government, urban planners, community organizations, and individuals. This includes implementing sustainable urban design, encouraging tree plantation drives, promoting energy-efficient practices, and prioritizing climate change adaptation and mitigation in policy-making.
Conclusion: As Delhi braces for soaring temperatures over the weekend, it is essential to prioritize public safety and take precautionary measures to combat the adverse effects of extreme heat. The predicted rise in temperatures serves as a reminder of the urgent need to address climate change and its impacts on our daily lives. By adopting sustainable practices, investing in climate-resilient infrastructure, and working collectively to reduce carbon emissions, we can mitigate the effects of rising temperatures and create a more resilient and sustainable future for Delhi and its residents.

Rahul Gandhi’s comment about “fighting Indian state” is a jab at “mental stability” from the BJP.

During his speech, Rahul Gandhi said that the Congress was fighting the Indian state itself and not just the BJP or RSS’s ideology
Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman and other Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders sharply reacted to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s comments on the RSS and BJP during an inaugural speech for the new headquarter of the party in Delhi.
Speaking to reporters, Hardeep Singh Puri remarked that Rahul Gandhi should “get his mental stability checked” in response to the latter’s comments at the new ‘Indira Gandhi Bhawan’.
During his speech, Rahul Gandhi attacked RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat, who had earlier stated that India’s independence should be celebrated on the day of the Ram temple consecration and not on August 15.
He stated that the comments made by Bhagwat were treasonous and said that the Congress was fighting the Indian state itself and not just the BJP or RSS’s ideology, which had proven harmful to democracy.
Union health minister JP Nadda also expressed his anger at Gandhi’s claims and said in a post on X, “Hidden no more, Congress’ ugly truth now stands exposed by their own leader. I ‘compliment’ Mr. Rahul Gandhi for saying clearly what the nation knows- that he is fighting the Indian state!”
He alleged that Rahul Gandhi had ties to urban naxals and the deep state through which he was trying to sow division and discredit India.
Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman also questioned Gandhi, who is the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, saying, “The LoP, who was sworn in by taking oath on the Constitution, is now saying, “We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian State itself. So what for are you carrying a copy of the constitution in your hand?”
BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya also took to X sharing a clip of Rahul Gandhi’s speech and said, Rahul Gandhi has now declared an open war against the Indian State itself. This is straight out of George Soros’s playbook.”
Rahul Gandhi’s speech
“The people in power today don’t salute the tricolour, don’t believe in the national flag or the constitution, and have a vastly different vision for India. They want India to be controlled by a secretive society, run by one person, and crush the voices of our nation,” Gandhi said during his speech.
He also emphasized that the Congress party was the only alternative to the BJP-led central government.
“The people in this room are facing systematic attack and assault on their lives because they are in the Congress party, and they are not surrendering to the BJP and the RSS,” he added.
