Sebenzisa iziteshi zesimo sezulu ukuxwayisa ngezinhlekelele

Ngokusho kwe-Times of India, abanye abantu abangu-19 bashonile ngenxa yokushisa okusolwayo entshonalanga ye-Odisha, abantu abangu-16 bafa e-Uttar Pradesh, abantu abangu-5 bashonela e-Bihar, abantu abangu-4 bafa eRajasthan kwathi oyedwa washona ePunjab.
Igagasi lokushisa lalidlangile ezindaweni eziningi zaseHaryana, Chandigarh-Delhi nase-Uttar Pradesh. I-India Meteorological Department (IMD) ithe iyenzeka nasezindaweni ezikude ezingxenyeni zaseMadhya Pradesh, ePunjab, eRajasthan nase-Uttarakhand.
Ochwepheshe be-IMD bathole ukuthi izinga lokushisa elibikwe yi-Automatic Weather Station (AWS) inzwa e-Mungeshpur "lingaba ngu-3 degrees Celsius ngaphezu kwezinga lokushisa eliphezulu elibikwe amathuluzi ajwayelekile", kusho umbiko.
UNgqongqoshe Wezesayensi Yomhlaba u-Kiren Rijiju wabelane ngombiko osalungiswa ngesigameko sase-Mungeshpur, owathi izinga lokushisa eliphezulu elirekhodwe yi-AWS lalingaphezulu kwamadigri amathathu kunezinsimbi ezijwayelekile.
Umbiko uncoma ukuthi umnyango wezinsimbi zaphansi we-IMD Pune kufanele uhlole njalo futhi ulinganise zonke izinzwa zokushisa ze-AWS.
Futhi incoma ukuhlolwa kokwamukelwa kwefekthri emazingeni okushisa ahlukahlukene ngaphambi kokufaka i-AWS futhi idinga ukunakekelwa okujwayelekile kwamathuluzi anjalo afakwe ezweni lonke.
I-IMD ithe ukufundwa kwe-AWS e-Mungeshpur kwakubukhali uma kuqhathaniswa namazinga okushisa alinganiswa kwezinye iziteshi ze-AWS kanye nokubhekwa kwezandla eDelhi.
“Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinga lokushisa eliphezulu ePalam lidlule izinga lokushisa eliphakeme elingu-48.4 degrees Celsius elaqoshwa ngoMeyi 26, 1998,” kusho umnyango wesimo sezulu.
NgoLwesihlanu, i-IMD ithe ukwehluleka kwezinzwa kuholele ekufundweni okuphezulu kwezinga lokushisa ku-AWS efakwe ePanjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth eNagpur.
Izinga lokushisa eliphezulu eDelhi National Capital Region libhekwa kusetshenziswa iziteshi ezinhlanu zokubuka umhlaba kanye neziteshi zesimo sezulu ezizenzakalelayo.
Izinga lokushisa eliphezulu elabonwa ngoMeyi 29 laliphakathi kuka-45.2 no-49.1 degrees Celsius, kodwa uhlelo lwe-AWS olufakwe eMungeshpur lubike izinga lokushisa eliphezulu elingu-52.9 degrees Celsius.
Kusukela ngoMasingana nonyaka, sekutshalwe ama-AWS angaphezu kuka-800 ezweni lonke ukuze kubhekwe isimo sezulu.
