New Delhi: The monsoon is yet to strike the Kerala coast, but already northwest India has been lashed repeatedly by rains this May.
It's been an unusual summer so far for the capital and neighbouring areas, with the sun, clouds, wind and rain making one appearance after another in the sky. Already, the city's seen lightning and thunder 14 days this month.
This Delhi summer has seen a lot of fluctuations – while the searing May Sun has gotten to temperature up to 42 degrees, cloud accumulation and rains have resulted in fluctuations up to ten depress.
So are we talking climate change here? An apocalyptic sort of thing in the long run that should worry us all?
"Something is wrong with the Delhi weather. I don't know what but something is wrong," said Centre for Science and Environment Director Sunita Narain.
The weatherman, for the record, is sounding no alarm.
"This is normal for an Indian summer and we have recorded more thundershower activity in the past in the month of May," Met Director B P Yadav.
So, the official word is that it is ‘normal’.
Global Warming or not, why bother if the sun playing hide and seek with the clouds above has been bringing a smile down below?
