Many areas of Vidarbha, too, have seen maximum and minimum temperatures rise. On Sunday, Akola at 44.9 degrees Celsius was the hottest in the area. With a maximum temperature of 44.1 degrees, Celsius Brahmapuri was the third hottest in the country.

Amravati and Chandrapur were both at 43.8 degrees Celsius, while Gondia and Gadchiroli recorded 42.6 and 42 degrees Celsius maximum temperatures, respectively. In Nagpur, the maximum temperature began to rise from mid-April.

On April 11, it first reached 40 degrees and since then the levels of mercury have been mostly above 40 degrees. The nights were also beginning to get warmer after April 17 with an increase in minimum temperatures. The month’s maximum-minimum temperature was recorded at 25.2 degrees centigrade on April 27.

Citizens also received some relief with sporadic rainfall amid the scorching sun. The town recorded a total of 15.8 mm of rain in the month of April.

Nagpur’s pre-monsoon rain is expected to hit the city this month too, according to officials from the Regional Meteorological Center (RMC). Officials said the discontinuity of the wind continues at lower levels, causing Vidarbha to rain.

According to the met department’s forecast, some spells of rain are predicted in some parts of the area on May 7 and 8. Some parts of the area will also experience heatwave related conditions on May 4 and 5.

The city’s maximum temperature could witness a drop following pre-monsoon rain but is expected to rise again in the week to come. It could hit 45 degrees Celsius by May 9 according to RMC’s forecast.

Nagpur: Inconsistency is expected to continue in the weather conditions in the city. Though the weather in the city warmed up on Wednesday, with a small rise in mercury levels, it is forecast that the next three days will get colder.
According to the prediction of the Regional Meteorological Center (RMC), Nagpur, a drop of two to three degrees Celsius across Vidarbha in the next 72 hours is expected to occur at the minimum temperature. It also notes that dry weather prevails over the city and its surrounding areas.
On Wednesday Nagpur was the region’s coldest, with a minimum temperature of 12.6 degrees Celsius. The city recorded a maximum temperature of 30.5 degrees centigrade on the same day. At a maximum temperature of 32.9 degrees, Celsius Akola was the hottest in the world.
There is no rain warning this week for the area. Unlike January, surprise showers were being received in February too. RMC data shows that, due to the cyclonic circulation over Marathwada and surrounding areas, the city has received 8 mm of rain until now.
Officials said the discontinuity of wind movement in the area is carrying moisture and rain. “This is why they experienced heat, humidity as well as cold in December, January and February,” they said.

Nagpur: Nearly 63% of the Nagpur district industry emits toxic pollutants that are significantly higher than the safe limit, according to the latest data. Also, most coal-fired power plants have earned a five-star rating for being the “least polluting” sector.
The statistics are based on the Star Rating Programme, a first-of-its-kind initiative jointly conducted by the MPCB, the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC-India) and other organizations. In order to provide information on the environmental efficiency of the industries to the public, the program gives star ratings to the industries based on the median concentration of the current particulate matter (PM) stack samples.
According to the standards developed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the permissible limit for PM stack emissions is 150 milligrams per normal metric cube (mg / NM3). Out of the 24 industries being tracked in the district system, 15 failed to meet this level.
The most polluting industries are primarily oil, textile and metalworking industries. Seven sectors have a one-star rating, while two have a two-star rating. One-star means that the particulate matter emitted by these units is 250 mg / NM3 or more, which is almost twice the acceptable norm. A two-star rating indicates that PM emissions are between 150-250 mg / NM3.
People living in the area are at risk of respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and can also contribute to mortality, according to the programme. “Emissions contain inhalable contaminants that can enter both the windpipe and the lungs,” he says.
Overall, 414 state-wide enterprises are being tracked under the Star Rating Programme. This tracks industrial air pollution in 10 state clusters — Pune, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Nagpur, Chandrapur, Nashik, Aurangabad, Kolhapur, and Gadchiroli pockets.
Thermal power plants, including Koradi Thermal Power Station (KTPS), Khaperkheda Super Thermal Power Plant, Mouda Super Thermal Power Project, Vidarbha Industries Power Limited and Purti Sakhar Karkhana Limited have received a five-star rating.
Also in September last year, KTPS, Khaperkeda Super Thermal Power Plant and Mouda Super Thermal Power were ranked five-star, while Chandrapur Super Thermal Power Station was rated four-star.
Questioning the Board’s results, environmental activists said that no coal-fired power plant can get a 5-star rating. “People living near Koradi and Chandrapur have been complaining for years about massive air pollution. The effects of chemical pollution on public health as well as on crops are clearly visible. The data are not accurate, “they said.
TOI has been reporting frequently on the pollution crisis caused by KTPS. In June last year, the Ministry of the Environment of the Union declined to initiate the process of granting environmental clearance to the proposed two new plant units.

कैस लगता है सूर्य ग्रहण?
जब सूर्य और पृथ्वी के बीच में चंद्रमा आ जाता है तो सूर्य की चमकती सतह चंद्रमा के कारण दिखाई नहीं पड़ती है. चंद्रमा की वजह से जब सूर्य ढकने लगता है तो इस स्थिति को सूर्यग्रहण कहते हैं.

सूर्यग्रहण की विशेषताएं क्या हैं?
यह ग्रहण पूर्ण सूर्यग्रहण नहीं है. यह वलयाकार सूर्यग्रहण है, जिसमें सूर्य आग की अंगूठी की तरह देखा जाएगा. यह ग्रहण भारत, अफगानिस्तान, पाकिस्तान, और चीन में देखा जा सकेगा.सूर्य के विशेष रूप से प्रभावित होने के कारण इसका असर राशियों पर पड़ रहा है जो लगभग 15 दिनों तक बना रहेगा.

ग्रहण के प्रभाव से कैसे बचें?
– ग्रहणकाल में सूर्य मंत्र का अधिक से अधिक जप करें
– चाहें तो ग्रहण काल में हनुमान जी की पूजा करें
– ग्रहण समाप्ति के बाद ताम्बे के बर्तन, लाल वस्त्र, गुड़ और गेंहू का दान करें.
