Amid heavy rainfall on Sunday morning, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday (June 26) issued an orange alert for the national capital, Delhi, for Tuesday (June 27) and Wednesday (June 28). The weather department predicted a cloudy sky with light rain or thundershowers for these three days.&nbsp;

In its forecast, the IMD said, "Light to moderate rain and thundershowers are expected to hit Delhi in the coming days, and the sky condition will remain generally cloudy." According to Business Today, the weather agency also issued a yellow alert for NCR regions including Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, and Gurugram.&nbsp;

The department further said that light or moderately widespread rainfall with isolated thunderstorms and lighting is very likely to prevail over the western Himalayan region on June 24 and 28. In the plains of northwest India except Rajasthan, the rainfall might occur between June 25 and 28.&nbsp;

Moreover, the department also said that isolated heavy rainfall is likely to occur in&nbsp;West and East Uttar Pradesh during June 24-26 and 25-27, respectively. Predicting rainfall in Rajasthan, the Met Department said that rain is likely to prevail during June 25–28.

Dr Mrityunjay Mohapatra, IMD's Director General, said that the southwest monsoon has advanced into parts of Maharashtra, Gujarat, UP, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and even Ladakh on June 25.&nbsp;

Here is the list of Indians who visited the State Dinner at the White House hosted by US President Biden for Indian PM Modi.

The United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its recent study stated that the sales of e-cigarettes spiked between 2020 and 2022.&nbsp;

According to the study published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the sales of e-cigarettes went up nearly 47 per cent, from the end of January 2020, just before the pandemic and December 2022, AFP reported.&nbsp;

The study stated that&nbsp;in January 2020, 15.5 million e-cigarettes were sold, while in December, sales rose to 22.7 million.&nbsp;

This spike for e-cigarettes in the United States comes as traditional cigarette smoking has reached an all-time low of about 11 per cent among adults in 2022, as the CDC data released in April stated.&nbsp;

What are vapes? Who is consuming it the most?

Introduced in the early 2000s, vapes came into the market as a replacement for cigarettes, a little less harmful, but are now turning youngsters to be addicts.

The health authority highlighted that the hike in vapes was especially for sweet flavours, mostly favoured by youngsters and young adults.&nbsp;Over 14 per cent of high school kids said that they had vaped in 2022, while the year before it, only 4.5 per cent of adults said that they had vaped.

"After January 2020, sales of mint and other flavored prefilled cartridges ceased, and disposable e-cigarettes in fruit, sweet, and other flavors increased," the study stated.&nbsp;

"Disposable e-cigarettes in youth-appealing flavors are now more commonly sold than prefilled units."

In a response to the study released by the CDC, anti-smoking non-profit Truth Initiative chief Robin Koval said, "The tobacco industry is well aware that flavours appeal to and attract kids, and that young people are uniquely vulnerable to nicotine addiction." She added that the authorities&nbsp;should work with even greater urgency to protect the nation's youth from all flavoured e-cigarettes including the disposables.&nbsp;

Sales Restrictions in some states

Though the two-year increase came despite the announcement made by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2020 stating that it would prioritise enforcing rules against unauthorised flavoured vaping products, given their appeal to teenagers and children.&nbsp;

The sales did decline by 12 per cent between May and December 2022.

However, the study said that states like Massachusetts have enforced a comprehensive flavour restriction and have experienced a large and sustained decline in overall e-cigarette&nbsp;sales.&nbsp;

It also found that the use of tobacco products among youngsters declined since&nbsp;flavoured tobacco products were restricted.&nbsp;

Every year, June 21 is the longest day as&nbsp;it's time for the Summer Solstice. It is also the day when we internationally celebrate Yoga Day. As the name implies, it acknowledges the significance of yoga worldwide.

This date marks the official beginning of summer. But what exactly is the summer solstice, and what is its connection with Yoga? Check below:

What is Summer Solstice, and why is it the longest day of the year?

The summer solstice is the time when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer and you have the longest daylight. The regions closer to the poles experience the most significant increase in daylight hours, which leads to the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible even throughout the night.

It happens when the Earth's axial tilt is most inclined towards the sun, resulting in the longest day and the shortest night of the year. It remarks on an astronomical phenomenon that has captivated civilisations throughout history.

Until now, the days have been getting longer and the nights, shorter. After today, this will be reversed, and each day will be a little shorter and each night will be longer.&nbsp;

It happens twice a year, one in each hemisphere (the Northern and Southern hemispheres).

However, the winter solstice is the opposite event, when we experience the dead of winter.&nbsp;

International Yoga&nbsp;Day was first introduced by Indian PM Narendra Modi in 2014 during his speech at the United Nations. He emphasised June 21 as the date to celebrate the occasion.&nbsp;

The connection between the two is simple, just two words: Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutations. This traditional sequence refers to the sun as an integral part of the practice of yoga.&nbsp;

In yoga, the sun salutation means to awaken the body, align the mind, and tone, and activate one's brain, associating it with self-esteem, discipline, and motivation. So this date is just perfect.&nbsp;

Here's how Summer Solstice is celebrated in different countries:

In England, thousands of people gather at Stonehenge to witness the sunrise on this special day. The alignment of these stones creates a breathtaking spectacle as the sun's rays illuminate the site.&nbsp;

In Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, people celebrate this occasion with great enthusiasm. It is called the "Midnight Sun Festival," a time when the city experiences almost a full day of sunlight.&nbsp;

In Sweden, the summer solstice is one of the most cherished holidays. Everyone gathers to celebrate it by&nbsp;dancing, and nature and indulging&nbsp;in traditional delicacies such as herring and freshly harvested strawberries.&nbsp;

Every year, June 21 is the longest day as it's time for the Summer Solstice. It is also the day when we internationally celebrate Yoga Day. As the name implies, it acknowledges the significance of yoga worldwide. This date marks the official beginning of summer. But what exactly is the summer solstice, and what is its connection with Yoga? Check below: What is Summer Solstice, and why is it the longest day of the year? The summer solstice is the time when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer and you have the longest daylight. The regions closer to the poles experience the most significant increase in daylight hours, which leads to the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible even throughout the night. It happens when the Earth's axial tilt is most inclined towards the sun, resulting in the longest day and the shortest night of the year. It remarks on an astronomical phenomenon that has captivated civilisations throughout history. Until now, the days have been getting longer and the nights, shorter. After today, this will be reversed, and each day will be a little shorter and each night will be longer. It happens twice a year, one in each hemisphere (the Northern and Southern hemispheres). However, the winter solstice is the opposite event, when we experience the dead of winter. International Yoga Day was first introduced by Indian PM Narendra Modi in 2014 during his speech at the United Nations. He emphasised June 21 as the date to celebrate the occasion. The connection between the two is simple, just two words: Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutations. This traditional sequence refers to the sun as an integral part of the practice of yoga. In yoga, the sun salutation means to awaken the body, align the mind, and tone, and activate one's brain, associating it with self-esteem, discipline, and motivation. So this date is just perfect. Here's how Summer Solstice is celebrated in different countries: In England, thousands of people gather at Stonehenge to witness the sunrise on this special day. The alignment of these stones creates a breathtaking spectacle as the sun's rays illuminate the site. In Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, people celebrate this occasion with great enthusiasm. It is called the "Midnight Sun Festival," a time when the city experiences almost a full day of sunlight. In Sweden, the summer solstice is one of the most cherished holidays. Everyone gathers to celebrate it by dancing, and nature and indulging in traditional delicacies such as herring and freshly harvested strawberries.
