दिल्ली में 2014 के बाद से मौसम ने पहली बार ऐसी करवट ली है कि मानसून से पहले राष्ट्रीय राजधानी में लोगों को लू का प्रकोप नहीं झेलना पड़ा. प्राथमिक मौसम केंद्र सफदरजंग वेधशाला के अधिकारियों ने मंगलवार को यह जानकारी दी. हालांकि, कुछ इलाकों में अप्रैल और मई में बहुत थोड़े समय के लिए लू जैसे हालात देखे गए. पिछला इतिहास देखें तो दिल्ली में सबसे गर्म महीने मई में औसत अधिकतम तापमान 39.5 डिग्री सेल्सियस रहता है. इस बार इस महीने में तापमान सामान्य से नीचे रहा और अधिक बारिश हुई.  मौसम विज्ञानियों ने सामान्य से अधिक पश्चिमी विक्षोभ को इसके लिए जिम्मेदार ठहराया है. पश्चिमी विक्षोभ एक मौसम प्रणाली है, जो भूमध्यसागरीय क्षेत्र में उत्पन्न होती है और इसके कारण मानसून से पहले के मौसम यानी मार्च से मई के बीच उत्तर-पश्चिम भारत में बेमौसम बारिश होती है.  भारत मौसम विज्ञान विभाग (आईएमडी) के क्षेत्रीय पूर्वानुमान केंद्र के प्रमुख कुलदीप श्रीवास्तव ने कहा, “आमतौर पर, अप्रैल और मई में उत्तरी मैदानी इलाकों में पांच से छह पश्चिमी विक्षोभ दर्ज किए जाते हैं. हमने इस बार 10 पश्चिमी विक्षोभ देखे हैं, जिनम...
