However, there is a downside to these rains as late-sown crops are being harvested during late April and early May. This rain activity may hamper the harvesting of these crops.
Weather activity is expected to continue over most parts of the country, albeit in a staggered manner. March will end up on a surplus note and may even compensate for dry February. Heat is unlikely to return in the remaining days of March and comfort range may even extend to initial days of April as well.
The feeble Western disturbances are not able to give significant rain and snow, but they are capable of blocking the flow of cold winds from north to northwestern and Central India. Leading to clear weather, bright sunshine and rise in temperatures.
March 2022 has made many records. For Delhi, it is the fourth warmest March in terms of average maximum temperature. Average maximum temperature was 32.6 degrees. In March 2021 it was 33.1 degrees, in 2004 it was 33.4 degrees and in 1953 average maximum temperature of Delhi was 34.4 degrees.
