Sebenzisa iziteshi zesimo sezulu ukuxwayisa ngezinhlekelele

Ngokusho kwe-Times of India, abanye abantu abangu-19 bashonile ngenxa yokushisa okusolwa ukuthi kuqubuke entshonalanga ye-Odisha, abantu abangu-16 bashonile e-Uttar Pradesh, abantu aba-5 bashonile eBihar, abantu abane bashonile eRajasthan kanti umuntu oyedwa washona ePunjab.
Igagasi lokushisa lidlangile ezindaweni eziningi zaseHaryana, eChandigarh-Delhi nase-Uttar Pradesh. UMnyango Wezezulu waseNdiya (IMD) uthe lokhu kwenzeka nasezindaweni ezikude ezingxenyeni zaseMadhya Pradesh, ePunjab, eRajasthan nase-Uttarakhand.
Ochwepheshe be-IMD bathole ukuthi izinga lokushisa elibikwe yi-Automatic Weather Station (AWS) sensor eMungeshpur "liphakeme cishe ngama-degree Celsius amathathu kunezinga lokushisa eliphezulu elibikwe yimishini ejwayelekile", kusho umbiko.
UNgqongqoshe Wezesayensi Yezinto Eziphilayo uKiren Rijiju wabelane ngombiko ohleliwe ngesigameko saseMungeshpur, othi izinga lokushisa eliphakeme kakhulu eliqoshwe yi-AWS laliphakeme ngamadigri amathathu kunemishini ejwayelekile.
Umbiko uncoma ukuthi umnyango wezinsimbi ezisetshenziswa phansi we-IMD Pune kufanele uhlole njalo futhi ulinganise zonke izinzwa zokushisa ze-AWS.
Iphinde ituse ukuhlolwa kokwamukelwa kwefektri emazingeni okushisa ahlukahlukene ngaphambi kokufaka i-AWS futhi idinga ukulungiswa okuvamile kwemishini enjalo efakwe kulo lonke izwe.
I-IMD ithe ukufundwa kwe-AWS eMungeshpur kubukhali uma kuqhathaniswa nokushisa okulinganiswe kwezinye iziteshi ze-AWS kanye nokubhekwa ngesandla eDelhi.
“Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinga lokushisa eliphezulu ePalam lidlule izinga lokushisa eliphakeme kakhulu elingama-degree Celsius angu-48.4 elaliqoshwe ngoMeyi 26, 1998,” kusho uMnyango Wezulu.
NgoLwesihlanu, i-IMD ithe ukwehluleka kwenzwa kuholele ekufundweni kwezinga lokushisa eliphakeme ku-AWS efakwe ePanjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth eNagpur.
Izinga lokushisa eliphezulu eDelhi National Capital Region liqashwa kusetshenziswa iziteshi ezinhlanu zokubuka phansi kanye neziteshi zezulu ezizenzakalelayo.
Izinga lokushisa eliphezulu kakhulu elibonwe ngoMeyi 29 laliphakathi kwama-degree Celsius angu-45.2 no-49.1, kodwa uhlelo lwe-AWS olufakwe eMungeshpur lubike izinga lokushisa eliphezulu lama-degree Celsius angu-52.9.
Kusukela ngoJanuwari kulo nyaka, ama-AWS angaphezu kuka-800 asethunyelwe ezweni lonke ukuze kubhekwe isimo sezulu.
