2. Type what you want to say.

3. See how it is said there.

@somilagrawal @Tom69355449 @dkhos Completely agree with Somil here. The core messaging should be the visual for max impact. Also, the traffic in the video is very staged and shot inside a complex. A few street shots would've definitely added value.

@navdeepdahiya55 I always believe your analysis. And share your posts with my family to plan their day/week. Thank you, Navdeep, for doing this so sincerely, and getting it right almost all the time!

Much-awaited relief from the heatwave ahead as summer storms are set to take over #India early next week

Meteorological Context

• A spell of heatwave usually triggers summer storms in India. These are WD/LWD-led patterns supported by moisture-laden winds from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, forming inland cyclonic circulations. This setup triggers strong dust storms, thundershowers, and gusty winds during the evening to night hours while moving from west to east.

What to Expect in This Spell

• Strong dust storms (40–80 km/h wind gusts), followed by short spells of moderate to heavy intensity rain and thundershowers, usually lasting 15–45 minutes. Some areas may observe sustained drizzle for 2–3 hours after the passage of a storm.
• Thunderstorms will carry lightning strikes and rumbling thunder. The risk of hailstorms remains on the lower side, but isolated events cannot be ruled out.
• Most activity will occur between 2 PM and 10 PM each day. Some storms may spill over into the next day, but with limited geographical coverage.

Date-wise Impact

• 27th April: Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi NCR (30–50% coverage)

• 28th–30th April (Peak): Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Telangana, Kerala (50–75% coverage)
Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh (10–30% coverage)

Impact on Temperature

• Heatwave conditions will continue on Monday. Temperatures are expected to fall from Tuesday evening in rain-affected regions.
• Maximum temperatures are likely to drop to the range of 36–41°C across most areas from Wednesday onwards, compared to the current 42–46°C.
• This indicates that the heatwave will abate, but hot afternoons will persist with slight humidity due to changing wind patterns.
• Evenings and nights in rain-affected cities will become relatively pleasant.

Safety Concerns

• These summer storms, especially during the evening hours, can be intense—particularly in terms of wind speeds, which may occasionally reach up to 100 km/h.
• If you observe dark clouds approaching from the west and hear thunder, it is strongly advisable to stay indoors until the storm passes.
• After the initial dust/wind front, rainfall with lightning typically follows—wait for this phase to pass before stepping outdoors.

Large parts of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra are unlikely to experience significant relief and will continue to witness #heatwave conditions next week.

This is a pan-India outlook; day-wise impacts and timings will vary by region. As the WDs arrive and development begins, it is best to track nowcasts based on cloud movement to assess when your area may be impacted.

Updates for major cities will be shared as activity begins from tomorrow onwards—better to stay prepared than be caught off guard.

@navdeepdahiya55 How will it affect air travel and turbulence through the coming months?

[Aaqib Raza Khan ⚡ @aaqibrk]

I think this should come under false advertising. The 'choco chip cookies' are just cookies with sometime none and some time with just one choco bit (if you're lucky). This is highly disappointing especially because the cover packet shows different cookies.

Weird to see people targeting #ShahRukhKhan for not tweeting about #Dhurandhar.

Relax. SRK won the National Award for Best Actor and he didn't post about that either! 🤣

And I think @iamsrk now only posts about things (even #AskSRK) when he's asked to, or has to promote things

Mate, this ant a bad joke!

[Miss Ally @MissAlly_01]

To stop ants coming in to your house leave a saucer of milk outside. The adult ants drink it & it has an effect on ant reproduction. The young are born without toes so they can't climb in to your
cavity walls.

This effect is called lack toes in toddler ants.

[Aaqib Raza Khan ⚡ @aaqibrk]

@SoniDreams_ Of course not SRK.

The phone is also not the model @iamsrk uses.

Mockery of law in Ranchi

Despite a ban, a DJ in Ranchi’s Nagdi area blasted music so loud that windows shattered, walls developed cracks, and people’s ears were affected.

This isn’t celebration—this is public nuisance and danger.

550 ceramic factories in Gujarat cease production until April 15 due to the shortage of LNG and propane. This affects atleast 400,000 workers, most of whom are migrants from other parts of India.

The consequences of the war in West Asia will show up in ways we couldn’t imagine.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if infrastructure like this 👇 gets blown up, as of this moment it will take at least a decade to recover from this war - and the truth is that the world's energy picture is probably changed forever.

This single facility 👇produced roughly 20% of global LNG supply (https://t.co/76QERytREH) and, as of 2011, had taken $70 billion to build (https://t.co/iZvv2SvxBe).

What makes this even worse is that Iran's strike on this was retaliation after Israel attacked their South Pars gas field which draws from the same natural gas reservoir, which is the world's largest by far (9,700 km² - about the size of Qatar itself).

Heck, on the list of the 25 largest natural gas fields (https://t.co/m5TmQ2Zkc8) this single reservoir holds roughly 40% of their combined recoverable reserves - and is nearly 6 times bigger than the 2nd biggest field in the world. And, unlike many of the others on the list, it's only at 10% depletion (meaning 90% of the gas is still there).

Which means that, probably for many years, a huge share of the gas from the world's largest reservoir simply won't be extractable, as infrastructure on both sides - Qatar's and Iran's - has now been blown up.

From a global energy supply perspective, we're deep into worst-case scenario territory.

@DelhiPolice what's the provision for loud DJs loaded on trucks roaming on the streets through the night? It's high time action is taken to ensure Hon'ble Supreme Court's directive is followed. @dtptraffic

Too many trucks loudlu shaking the entire house. This isn't religion.

This is wild.

143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.

Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.

Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.

Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.

The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.
