Delhi issues ‘strong protest’ after US fire kills three Indian seafarers in Gulf

2 min readNew DelhiJun 13, 2026 01:50 AM IST According to IMD scientists, the recent spells are a result of "strong convective activity" fuelled by abundant moisture, intense daytime heating and the interaction of multiple weather systems moving across Northwest India. Delhi-NCR was placed under a red alert late Friday, as a powerful thunderstorm system swept across North India, bringing strong winds, lightning, dust storms and widespread rainfall. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) warned that dust storms and thunderstorms accompanied by moderate to heavy rainfall and lightning are very likely across the entire Delhi-NCR, with winds of 60-80 kmph gusting up to 100 kmph.The warning, issued shortly after 11 pm, covered Delhi and adjoining districts of Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh and eastern Rajasthan. According to IMD, Palam in Delhi, as of midnight, recorded gusts of 76 kmph, followed by Narayana and Pragati Maidan (52 kmph), Safdarjung (44 kmph), Jafarpur (43 kmph) and Janakpuri (31 kmph). The Capital had on Tuesday recorded the highest wind speed – 120 kmph – in 21 years. The storm system has extended to Uttar Pradesh – districts like Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Meerut, Baghpat, Hapur, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Mathura, Hathras and Agra were placed under severe thunderstorm warnings. A district-level nowcast issued by IMD’s Meteorological Centre in Lucknow forecast severe thunderstorms with winds of 70-80 kmph gusting to 100 kmph, accompanied by lightning and moderate to intense spells of rain over parts of Agra, Hathras, Mathura, Aligarh, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Bulandshahr, Hapur, Ghaziabad and Baghpat.Story continues below this ad The IMD advised residents to remain indoors, avoid sheltering under trees, stay away from electric poles and unsecured structures, and avoid unnecessary travel during the storm. The latest storm comes amid an unusually active pre-monsoon season marked by repeated episodes of intense heat, dust storms, thunderstorms and sharp temperature fluctuations across Northwestern India. According to IMD scientists, the recent spells are a result of “strong convective activity” fuelled by abundant moisture, intense daytime heating and the interaction of multiple weather systems moving across Northwest India. Thunderstorms during this pre-monsoon period are not uncommon, but the combination of widespread coverage and winds approaching 100 kmph significantly increases the risk of falling trees, damage to temporary structures, power disruptions and traffic disruptions.Story continues below this ad The thunderstorm activity comes just a day after Delhi witnessed a dramatic fall in temperatures following a squall line that travelled from Punjab through Haryana into the National Capital Region. That event brought rainfall and cooler conditions, ending a prolonged spell of scorching heat. © The Indian Express Pvt Ltd Sophiya Mathew is a Correspondent at The Indian Express, based in New Delhi.

Medicares new payment model is built for AI, and most of the tech world has no idea

A new AI weather forecasting tool released today by the startup Windborne Systems offers more frequent and accurate predictions on key variables than the world-leading system developed by European governments, thanks to advancements in how sensor readings are fed into deep learning models. Founded by a group of Stanford students in 2019, Windborne began by building a better weather balloon, with the idea of selling weather data. But the arrival of the weather-forecasting deep learning models in 2022, the team realized they could capture more value by building their own model as well. Today marks the release of the sixth version of that model, WeatherMesh, which the company says is more accurate than traditional and AI forecasts produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF), the European intergovernmental organization seen by meteorologists as the leading provider of accurate weather prediction today. Windborne says the new version of its model offers a more accurate forecast than the ECMWF’s traditional and AI systems across several variables. One simple way to understand it, Windborne’s chief product officer Kai Marshland says, is that WeatherMesh 6 “is as accurate five days out as a traditional forecast is the day before,” particularly on surface temperature measurements. WeatherMesh 6 produces a forecast every hour, as opposed to every six hours, as traditional models do. Its resolution is now down to 3 km in Europe and the continental US, where the quality of data is highest. Traditional weather forecasts are generated by complex physics models that require expensive super computers to run, and take a long time to do it. AI models — being built by startups and major labs like Google DeepMind—tend to move faster than physics models, but for now don’t have as high a resolution, as many variables and or predict as accurately over longer time horizons. Still, weather AI is improving rapidly and already being used at major government agencies around the world. Researchers are working to integrate it into the systems used to aggregate weather data and produce public forecasts. Windborne’s benefits from its unique combination of model-building and data collection. The company now has about 400 balloons in flight gathering sensor readings at any given time, launched from 15 sites around the globe. The advances in its current model come from improvements in how the data collected by the balloons is fed into the models. “I don’t understand, personally, the business model of being [an] AI based weather company without a data set advantage,” Windborne CEO John Dean told TechCrunch. The ECMWF’s superiority is attributed to the organization’s skills at “data assimilation,” the work of turning disparate sensor readings into a comprehensive, machine-readable picture of the world. For now, AI weather models depend on data sets produced by the ECMWF and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But Windborne and other organizations are working to feed data directly into the models, and the company’s head of AI, Joan Creus-Costa, says the direct ingestion of data from their balloons and other sources is the key reason for improvement in the new version of WeatherMesh. It’s taken a year of tuning and re-architecting the transformer-based model for the model to deliver these forecasts without losing stability. “When we started doing [data assimilation] we were still very heavily reliant on ECMWF,” Dean said. “I predict today, if we removed ECMWF’s initial conditions, we would actually still do pretty good.” The company suffered a scare last year when a United Airlines jetliner ran into one of its balloons. While the plane suffered minor damage, no one was hurt, in part because Windborne followed US regulations about how large its sensor package could be. Now, however, the company has added transponders to its balloons that report their location through the global aviation surveillance sy

Petrol, diesel prices hiked? Check latest fuel rates in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and other key cities on 2 May

LPG gas cylinder prices in India remained stable on Wednesday. Kerala's hospitality sector is observing a one-day statewide shutdown to protest against the steep increase in commercial cooking gas prices.LPG prices in India held steady on Wednesday, 6 May.(Naveen Sharma | ANI)Domestic and commercial LPG gas cylinder prices remained steady in India on Wednesday despite volatility in oil markets across the globe. The Centre is playing a major role in controlling fuel and domestic LPG prices to shield consumers against price pressures. Since, state-run oil marketing companies such as Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, and Hindustan Petroleum regularly review and adjust prices for commercial LPG and Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), commercial LPG gas price witnessed significant price hike in the recent monthly revision.Most countries of the world are facing energy crisis due to supply disruption across the critical trade route — the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly one-fifth of the world's oil and gas exports take place. This disruption in energy supply chain triggered the steep rise in fuel prices across the world.Since, the Iran war with US and Israel began on 28 February, commercial LPG cooking gas rates have been revised thrice. In March, the price increased by ₹144 in March, in April by ₹203 and in May by ₹993. Domestic LPG cylinder price was also revised in March which was hiked by ₹60.CityDomestic (14.2 Kg)Commercial (19 Kg)New Delhi ₹913.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,071.50 ( +993.00 )Kolkata ₹939.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,202.00 ( +994.00 )Mumbai ₹912.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,024.00 ( +993.00 )Chennai ₹928.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,237.00 ( +990.50 )Gurgaon ₹921.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,088.00 ( +993.00 )Noida ₹910.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,071.50 ( +993.00 )Bangalore ₹915.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,152.00 ( +991.00 )Bhubaneswar ₹939.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,238.00 ( +993.50 )Chandigarh ₹922.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,092.50 ( +993.00 )Hyderabad ₹965.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,315.00 ( +994.00 )Jaipur ₹916.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,099.00 ( +993.00 )Lucknow ₹950.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,194.00 ( +993.00 )Patna ₹1,002.50 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,346.50 ( +993.50 )Thiruvananthapuram ₹922.00 ( 0.00 ) ₹3,106.00 ( +993.00 )Positive sentiment flooded the market after US President Donald Trump claimed progress in negotiations with Iran. Due to optimism in investor sentiment toward an agreement to end the war, stock market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded in early trade.Donald Trump on Tuesday announced suspension of "Project Freedom," which was launched on Monday to escort ships out of the Gulf waterway. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, “Great progress has been made toward a complete and final agreement with representatives of Iran.”He added, “Based on the request of Pakistan and other Countries, the tremendous Military Success that we have had during the Campaign against the Country of Iran and, additionally, the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement with Representatives of Iran, we have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed.”Amid signs of easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, brent crude oil prices fell to $108 per barrel.As a result, Brent crude prices retreated from their elevated level. Following this development, the 30-share BSE Sensex plunged 657.22 points to 77,675.01 in early trade while the 50-share NSE Nifty bounced 218 points to 24,250.85.
