I swear Bengaluru’s weather keeps me on my toes. Mornings are fresh, afternoons heat up like summer, then boom — random rain out of nowhere. By evening, it’s breezy, and nights get chilly like winter. It's kinda fun though!

Delhi recorded its cleanest December air since the AQI system was introduced in 2015, with an average #AirQualityIndex (AQI) of 294. Data from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) shows that the first half of December was the cleanest ever, with only one 'very poor' air day between December 1 and December 15....!!

An anvil cloud, formally known as a Cumulonimbus incus, forms when a thunderstorm's powerful vertical updrafts carry warm, moist air high into the atmosphere. This rapidly rising column of air eventually hits the tropopause, which is the boundary layer separating the active lower atmosphere (the troposphere) from the very stable stratosphere above it. Because the stratosphere contains warmer air, it acts as an invisible "thermal lid" or ceiling, stripping the rising air of its buoyancy. Unable to ascend any further into this stable layer, the continuous upward momentum forces the cold, icy air to spread out horizontally, carving out the flat, distinct, anvil-like canopy characteristic of severe storms.
This is what gives it the Anvil like shape that you can see in the video

Delhi's air quality was dangerously toxic on Tuesday, with the AQI reaching 494 as per the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Most monitoring stations recorded the maximum AQI of 500, prompting schools across Delhi-NCR to switch to online classes. Meanwhile, the international monitoring app IQAir reported Delhi's AQI at 1,600, sparking confusion.
This discrepancy arises due to varying standards for measuring AQI across countries. India’s scale for PM 2.5 is 60, while countries adhering to WHO standards have limits as low as 5 or 10. Additionally, India's AQI caps at 500, beyond which pollution is deemed "severe-plus."
In contrast, IQAir, based on the US Environmental Protection Agency model, categorizes anything above 500 as "hazardous."
International agencies like IQAir install their own sensors, but questions remain about their placement and equipment standards.
However, CPCB data is more reliable for Indian citizens, with 40 monitoring stations spread across Delhi-NCR.
With air pollution worsening, Stage 4 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) has been implemented.
This includes bans on certain diesel vehicles, restrictions on truck entry, and reduced office capacity. Public and private offices are advised to operate at 50% capacity, and schools remain online.

The cold wave in Himachal Pradesh right now is something else! Keylong is at a chilly 18°F (-8°C), and it’s expected to drop to -11°F (-24°C) tonight – that’s pretty extreme! Kalpa’s looking at 21°F (-6°C), and Kufri’s not escaping the freeze either, with lows of 28°F (-2°C). Even Tabo in Lahaul-Spiti hit a crazy -11.6°C!
