Dusty winds sweep Delhi-NCR, Palam records highest wind speed

A squally dust storm swept through Delhi-NCR on Tuesday evening. The Palam station recorded a peak wind speed of 120 kmph, matching its previous such record in 2001, according to the IMD data. The weather station experienced 120 kmph of gusty winds between 6.50 and 6.52 pm on Tuesday.This was the fastest wind to hit Palam since April 27, 2005, when the speed touched 138kmph, according to data shared by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The last time Palam recorded winds of similar intensity was on June 4, 2001, when the maximum wind speed had also touched 120 kmph. The IMD classifies it as a “squall” when the wind speed increases by at least 16 knots (30kmph) to a minimum of 22 knots (41kmph) while lasting for at least one minute.

Mahesh Palawat of Skymet Weather said the strong winds and isolated rain activity were triggered by a cyclonic circulation persisting over central Pakistan and adjoining areas. He said similar conditions, including sporadic rain and gusty winds, are likely on Wednesday. Palawat added that pre-monsoon activity is expected to intensify from June 11 onwards, bringing fairly widespread rainfall over Delhi, Haryana and Punjab.
