Delhi's AQI on Diwali may have been at least 30 pts higher, and much closer to 'severe' levels, had data from air quality monitors not gone missing. Read my story in TOI

No surprises there.

[Sanket Upadhyay @sanket]

Will the SC, which allowed this abomination called Green Crackers, take note of possible pollution data fudging and monitoring fraud? Is this the pollution solution India wanted? We will become a global laughing stock.

[Amit Bhattacharya @amitreports]

The scale of AQI data outage on Diwali night was quite unprecedented but the issue didn't get as much attention as it should have. Sanket flags my story in today's TOI

[Sanket Upadhyay @sanket]

Pollution data suppression in Delhi on Diwali night. There should be a detailed investigation on who ordered the turning off of pollution meters, which miraculously started working again in the morning. Giving illusion of low pollution.

Beijing set pollution reduction targets and met them. Delhi/India misses targets but hardly anyone talks about it

Rajasthan's Thar desert has been getting significantly higher than normal rainfall over a 20-year period. What does it tell us about changing monsoon patterns? My story in @TOIPlus

@SANJAYAHUJA1 @TOIPune The colour legend is right at the top. The bottom right numbers have Excess & Large Excess (and Deficient & Large Deficient) districts taken together. So, the colour code can't apply there

The last western Siberian crane's 15-yr battle against extinction. A story that deserved to be told. My piece in @TOIPlus

@GoyalMalini Thank you, it was a story that deserves to be told

We can now safely say this is the driest August on record in India. Countrywide rain shortfall likely to exceed 33%, the first time Aug will see a deficit over 30%. Threat of drought looms. 5 of the driest Augusts since 1901 have come in last 18 years

This can hit IMD's 'normal monsoon' forecast. Latest NOAA update says El Nino may set in earlier, by June. My report @TOIIndiaNews @NOAA

My a/c was accessed by hackers. Any messages to contacts in recent days were most likely not sent by me

El Nino probability grows stronger. For the third month in a row, @NOAA forecasts that it's likely to develop in late summer. India needs to prepare for a possible poor monsoon on top of a long, hot summer #elnino @IMDWeather
