During the 26 May launch of the Bharat Forecast System in Delhi, minister Jitendra Singh recognised an IITM-Pune all-women team for the innovation under Modi's 'Nari Shakti' vision.
Bharat Forecast System promises to improve forecast capabilities, accuracy to 6-km range, compared with current 12 km. It also offers 30% better prediction of extreme rainfall events.
Panchayati raj ministry and IMD, in collaboration with NGO Kisan Sanchar, are planning to expand the scope of daily weather forecasts from block to gram panchayat level, it is learnt.
Low predictability, local reasons make monsoon hard to predict, especially in long-range forecasts. While IMD has some of the world's best models and technology, it might not be enough.
During the exercise, a web-based Dynamic Composite Risk Atlas (Web-DCRA) was developed by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) under the National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project (NCRMP).
IMD says any effect of El Nino on monsoon will be visible only during the second half of the season, adding that it’s not necessary it will lead to a bad monsoon.
In the warmest February since 1901, maximum temperature reached 29.54 degrees Celsius — 1.7 degrees higher than normal. IMD forecasts higher than normal temperatures from March to May.
The minimum temperature settled at 12.8 degrees Celsius, the highest this month so far. The national capital is likely to see cloudy skies for the next 4-5 days
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
ACM Katre was 2nd IAF chief to die in harness. It was at a memorial lecture in his honour where IAF chief AP Singh revealed that India shot down 6 Pakistani aircraft in Op Sindoor.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
The BJP is allergic to Bengalis.
It would rather give credit to a dog but would never honour a Bengali Babu.
