Maximum temperature on Sunday stood at 40.8 degrees Celsius while the minimum temperature was recorded at 26.7 degrees Celsius. Delhiites were stuck in different areas, as Metro service were also disrupted due to strong winds and rain. The dust storm with wind speed exceeding 100 kmph brought operations at the IGI airport to a halt during the evening rush hours, diverting as many as 70 flights to other places. The operations at the airport were reportedly shut down for close to two and half hours, and the air traffic operations could begin by 9 pm. A similar story may well come to pass for airlines passengers today also.
The storm lasted for almost 3 hours and the operations had to be shut down for that period, Air Traffic Control (ATC) sources at the airport revealed. Reportedly, the disruptions were very severe and the authorities were caught by surprise. "The situation is slightly unique, the disruptions are mostly on account of wind shear... The number of diversions are now touching 70," sources at the airport had then said to PTI. And what is wind shear? It is a rapid change in winds over a short horizontal distance experienced by aircraft. This can cause a rapid change in lift, and thus the altitude, of the aircraft. Wind shear is an extremely dangerous situation that has caused aircraft to crash on previous occasions at other airports. However, authorities got the air traffic operations back to near normal by 9 pm.
