The United States might witness record-breaking temperatures on Halloween this year, weather predictions said. According to the National Weather Service, the US might see frightening temperatures as October ends. By Monday night, a cold front will move through the Gulf Coast and the East Coast. The social media post by the National Weather Service said, "It may be a good idea to figure out how to incorporate a jacket into that costume tomorrow night across much of the lower 48. 'Mr. Freeze' is a good costume, but only if it's intended." Dr Rick Knabb, a meteorologist with The Weather Channel, said that most areas in the central and eastern US might have below-average temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday.

According to Knabb, the Plains, Midwest, parts of the Tennessee Valley, and Appalachians might witness the coldest temperatures on Halloween. The weather prediction mentions the temperature range in these areas would be 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. "Record cold low (and cool high) temperatures are expected through Thursday morning from Texas northeastward into the Ohio and Tennessee Valley regions, and even for some spots along the East Coast from South Carolina to Maine," Knabb said.

However, the National Weather Service has issued freeze watches and warnings for the upcoming week from central Arizona through the southern Plains and into the Midwest and Ohio Valley. The organisation gives a freeze watch when there's potential for significant, widespread freezing temperatures within the next 24-36 hours. Knabb added that over 100 million people will witness below-freezing temperatures on Tuesday. The number might rise to 165 million on Thursday morning. The Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and interior Northeast might also see rain or snow showers through Wednesday, the forecast added. Parts of the Midwest will also deal with "blustery Cold winds." Northern Maine, Northern Pains, the Upper Midwest, and the Great Lakes through Halloween might witness accumulating snowfall. (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE

Delhi-NCR residents witnessed moderate rainfall and gusty winds on Friday morning, as predicted by the India Meteorological Department's weather forecast. The Met Office urged people to practice caution and stay prepared for adverse conditions during the morning hours. According to the IMD weather forecast, Delhi-NCR will likely experience gusty winds of 50 to 70 kilometres per hour, with moderate rainfall, followed by occasional intense spells. A weather system coming from the northwest region of Uttar Pradesh is causing the bad weather. IMD also said the rainfall activity might continue until around 09:30 am on Friday and decline gradually. The IMD bulletin stated, "Thunderstorm with light to moderate intensity rain with heavy intensity rain over few places and gusty winds with speed of 50-70 Km/h would occur over and adjoining areas of entire Delhi and NCR ( Loni Dehat, Hindon Air Force Station, Ghaziabad, Indirapuram, Chhapraula, Noida, Dadri, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, Manesar, Ballabhgarh) Gannaur, Sonipat, Kharkhoda (Haryana) Sakoti Tanda, Hastinapur, Baraut, Meerut, Modinagar, Pilakhua, Hapur, Daurala, Bagpat, Khekra (UP)."

What will be the impact of the rains in Delhi-NCR? IMD has suggested several measures to help residents stay safe from the heavy rainfall lashing Delhi-NCR and adjacent areas. The heavy rainfall might lead to traffic congestion and create slippery roads. People travelling via roads must stay careful while driving and consider alternative routes if required. The heavy showers might reduce visibility, which is a challenge for drivers. Use headlights and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to ensure road safety. The adverse weather conditions might affect routine outdoor activities and business operations. Authorities have advised people to stay indoors whenever possible. The rainfall might cause damage to the plantations, horticulture, and standing crops. Farmers should take preventive measures to protect their crops. If rainfall worsens, weak infrastructure, including kutcha houses, walls, and huts, might experience partial damage. Residents must stay cautious and seek safe shelter if necessary. Roads might become impassable due to flooding caused by heavy rainfall. Residents must avoid driving through flooded areas and find alternative routes. Avoiding unnecessary travel can prevent accidents and traffic jams. IMD has urged commuters to stay updated on traffic advisories issued by local authorities.

Just days ahead of the G20 Summit in Delhi, much of the Indian capital region faced scorching heat. There was also the issue of pollution, with at least one foreign reporter asking a delegate how it felt to be attending the event in the 'smoky' air of the city. But on the days of the G20 summit - September 9 and10 - the weather gods appeared to be smiling. The bounty of nature was matched only by the success of the summit, as the G20's joint Delhi Declaration was unanimously adopted in spite of much consternation about thorny issues like the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The change in weather started on Friday night with cool breeze and light rains. On Saturday, the summit's first day, light showers welcomed the delegates before the meeting, and dark clouds covered the sky. And a day after the successful adoption of the joint declaration at the G20 summit, overnight rains and strong winds greeted Delhi on Sunday morning. The Delhi region's air quality, usually notorious, improved too. New Delhi Municipal Council stated the air quality in Delhi was better after the light showers, saying the recorded AQI of 39.20 was "good." Earlier, the India Meteorological Department issued a weather forecast for Bharat Mandapam, the G20 Summit 2023 venue. According to the predictions, cloudy skies might prevail in the sky with very light to light rainfall in the morning and forenoon hours. IMD predicted the maximum temperature to be between 34 to 36 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature will be between 25 to 27 degrees Celsius. The humidity will be around 85 to 95 per cent. The meteorological department installed an Automatic Weather System (AWS) near the G20 Summit 2023 venue to give real-time live weather data, including air temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and wind direction.

India will take on hosts Ireland in the third and final T20I with an aim to achieve a clean sweep against Paul Stirling &amp; Co. on Wednesday (August 23). The final game will also be held at&nbsp;The Village, Dublin. Talking about the series, it has given India's second-string&nbsp;players a good chance to test themselves at the highest level. The series opener was a rain-marred affair where India won by two runs (DLS method) before the second and penultimate game saw Rinku Singh and Ruturaj Gaikwad help the Men in Blue post 185 for 5 before Bumrah &amp; Co. restricted the Irish camp for 152 for 8.&nbsp;

Thus, India will look for a series whitewash whereas Paul Stirling &amp; Co. will want to lift themselves up for the final game and sign off with a consolation win.

India and New Zealand will lock horns in the tour finale when Shikhar Dhawan &amp; Co. will take the field versus the Black Caps in the third and final ODI on Wednesday morning (November 30). So far, the ODI series has been pretty much like the three T20Is, which Hardik Pandya &amp; Co. won 1-0, with rain making its presence felt at regular intervals. While the ODI series opener went uninterrupted, where India failed to defend 306/7 and lost by seven wickets, the second and penultimate tie was abandoned due to persistent rain in Hamilton.&nbsp;

The third and final ODI will take place at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch. While Kane Williamson-led Kiwis will aim for a 2-0 scoreline, the Dhawan-led Indian team will be desperate to get a full game and end the series on a 1-1 scoreline. Before both sides take the field for the series and tour finale, here's an update on the weather forecast in Christchurch for Wednesday:

According to the NZ’s MetService, the Christchurch weather is set to test the patience of the fans on November 30. While no rain threat is there during the day, there could be some interruptions due to the weather forecast for&nbsp;the evening. In such a scenario, the teams will prefer batting second as the ball will be wet whereas even if the match is curtailed, it will also be beneficial for the chasing side.

India managed 89/1 in 12.5 overs in a rain-curtailed 29-over contest in the second ODI (after being asked to bat), in Hamilton, before rain had the final say. Post the proceedings, captain Dhawan opined on leading a young and exciting squad during the post-match presentation. "Damn exciting, makes me feel so young (laughs). No but seriously this is a good opportunity for the guys travelling so far, to see the way Shubman has batted and Umran’s bowling, glad to see that transition. As a team we want to get our processes right, and put on a good performance in Christchurch. Hopefully we can win and enjoy ourselves," he said.

It will be interesting to see if Sanju Samson gets a place in the playing XI after being dropped for the second ODI, due to India's lack of sixth-bowling option.

After topping Group 1 in the Super 12 round, the Kane Williamson-led Black Caps had assured themselves of playing the first semi-final whereas a run of green, with the Netherlands defeating title contenders South Africa, helped Babar Azam &amp; Co. remain alive and proceed to the semi-final round.

Thus, Pakistan and New Zealand are all set to face each other in back-to-back T20 WCs. In last year's edition, in the UAE, Babar-led Men in Green defeated the Kiwis by five wickets in an intense clash in Sharjah during the Super 12s. This time around, the stakes are higher given a ticket for the final is up for grabs. So far, the two teams have played each other on five occasions in the ICC semi-finals.

Pakistan v New Zealand in SFs of ICC events:

WC 1992: Pak beat NZ, Auckland&nbsp; 
WC 1999: Pak beat NZ, Manchester&nbsp; 
CT 2000: NZ beat Pak, Nairobi 
WT20 2007: Pak beat NZ, Cape Town 
CT 2009: NZ beat Pak, Johannesburg

Pakistan leads NZ 3-2 but anything can happen on any day. Given Kiwis have become much more confident and consistent in WCs over the years, the Asian giants have a stern test. Let's have a look at the weather forecast for the epic face-off at the SCG, Sydney:

As per the weather reports, the temperature of Sydney city on Wednesday&nbsp;will be 22° Celcius during the day and it will come down to 15° Celcius at night. While the sky will be partly cloudy during the course of the&nbsp;day, there should be no concerns for the cricket fans as it is expected to be an uninterrupted match.

T20 World Cup 2022, New Zealand vs Pakistan weather report: Will rain play spoilsport in first semi-final?

India came from behind to clinch the three-match T20I series versus Australia, at home, on Sunday (September 25). After a disappointing run in the Asia Cup 2022 edition, India hosted Aaron Finch-led Australia, the current T20 world champions, and got the better of them in a high-scoring series. There were lots of positives for India but they will now move to their next assignment as they host South Africa in three T20Is, which gets underway on September 28 (Wednesday).

South Africa visited India in early June for a five-match T20I series. Back then, the Temba Bavuma-led Proteas had a 2-0 lead before a second-stringed Indian team, under Rishabh Pant, came from behind to level the series ahead of the decider in Bengaluru. The series finale was, however, abandoned -- with only 21 balls being bowled -- due to persistent rain at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Will SA attain an important series win over a full-strength India ahead of the T20 World Cup?

India vs South Africa, 1st T20I: Will rain play spoilsport in series opener at Trivandrum?

The Hungarian government sacked the head of the national weather department and her deputy, two days after fireworks to honour Hungary’s national holiday was postponed due to storm fears.

Lazlo Palkovic, minister of technology who remits the National Meteorological Service (NMS), dismissed Kornelia Radics and her deputy Gyula Horvath without stating any reasons.

NMS’s forecast of thunderstorms and wind gusts, which led to the cancellation of the fireworks on Saturday, drew criticisms from pro-government media the day before the announcement of dismissal.

Hungarian government sacks head of weather department and her deputy over misleading forecast

India and West Indies were involved in a closely-fought three-match ODI series, in the Caribbean island, in which a second-stringed Indian team -- under Shikhar Dhawan -- won 3-0. While the first two ODIs were a thriller, India won the rain-interrupted third and final match by 119 runs (DLS method).&nbsp;

Now, the action moves to the T20Is as both sides will now shift focus back to the shortest format with the 2022 T20 World Cup set to be held in Australia, from October-November. The five-match series opener will be held on Friday (July 29) at the&nbsp;Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad. Even the ODIs were held in Trinidad, at the Queen's Park Oval,&nbsp;Port-of-Spain. Hence, will rain once again make its presence felt and interrupt the proceedings?

For the unversed, the weather forecast&nbsp;in Tarouba, Trinidad for Friday is far better than what it was a couple of days back, i.e. on Wednesday (July 27). However, there still remains a 25 percent chance of precipitation during&nbsp;the daytime. As the proceedings will kick off&nbsp;at 10:30 am local time, there is expected to be a cloud cover of 31 percent. However,&nbsp;no humidity indicates a pleasant day on the Caribbean island.

The temperatures will&nbsp;hover around a high of 32 degrees with&nbsp;a low of 26 degrees.&nbsp;Thus,&nbsp;it is going to be a hot day largely&nbsp;with some passing showers leading to few interruptions. Overall, a full game is on the cards.

After losing the ODIs, Nicholas Pooran-led West Indies will certainly look to settle scores with India and claim the five T20Is. For that, they will be eager to start off nicely against the visitors, who recently beat England (2-1) in their own backyard.

West Indies vs India, 1st T20I: How will the weather hold up for series opener at Trinidad?

India and West Indies will kick off their white-ball series on Friday (July 22) in Port of Spain, Trinidad. In regular captain Rohit Sharma's absence, Shikhar Dhawan will take charge of the new-look side which comprises several young faces such as&nbsp;Deepak Hooda, Sanju Samson, Avesh Khan,&nbsp;Shubman Gill, and Arshdeep Singh among others.

Not only Rohit, even the likes of Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah have been rested for the tour (although Pant will join for the T20Is). Talking about KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja (who has been named as Dhawan's deputy for the ODIs), the former has tested Covid positive whereas the all-rounder is suffering from a knee injury and is, most likely, to sit out.&nbsp;

India reached Trinidad from Manchester, after the completion of their successful tour of England, amid heavy rain in the Caribbean island. Hence, the Rahul Dravid-Dhawan-led team management had to shift their training session indoors. Thus, rain can be a factor for the three-match ODI series opener on Friday evening.

WI vs IND, 1st ODI, weather forecast: Will rain make its presence felt in series opener in Trinidad?

What set out as a hypothetical thought experiment two years ago, is all set become a reality. A UK weather forecaster which predicted what would be the weather forecast in 2050 proved trued 28 years earlier than expected.

According to CNN, meteorologists at the UK Met Office conducted an interesting thought experiment about what the forecasts will look like in 2050.

They ran some calculations using super long-range climate models during the summer of 2020 to see what kind of temperatures the world would witness about three decades later.

At that time, the Met Office's graphics said, "Not actual weather forecast."

"Examples of plausible weather based on climate projections."

But that “plausible weather” prediction will become reality on Monday and Tuesday.

An atmospheric scientist at Columbia University in New York, Simon Lee, pointed out the striking similarity between the 2050 outlook and the forecast for early next week in the UK.

UK Met Office’s heatwave prediction for 2050 set to turn real next week

After four pulsating days of cricket in Edgbaston, Birmingham, India and England will gear up for the five-match Test series' final day on Tuesday (July 05). In a series which has lasted for a year, with the&nbsp;final Test being rescheduled by more than ten months, both sides still have all to play for with the scoreline 2-1 in favour of India.

While India will turn up on the 22-yard cricket pitch with only 119 more runs to defend, in defence of 378, Ben Stokes &amp; Co. will start as favourites being well-placed at 259-3 courtesy of an unbroken 150-run fourth-wicket stand between half-centurions Joe Root (76*) and Jonny Bairstow (72 not out). Here's how the weather is expected to hold up for the final day's play:

According to&nbsp;the&nbsp;AccuWeather, there's&nbsp;about only 4 percent chance of rain at Edgbaston during the day time. The sky would, however, be partly covered by clouds. The chances of rain&nbsp;are still fairly slim. Hence, if India are to win the contest, Jasprit Bumrah &amp; Co. will have to buckle up and be at their very best to trigger a collapse of the English batting line-up on Day 5

India have dominated the final Test in Edgbaston, Birmingham. After posting 416, they managed to dismiss England for 284. Bumrah &amp; Co., however, couldn't bat England out of contest after being dismissed for 245, setting up a challenging 378-run target. While it remains a big score, the visitors missed the chance of posting a target above 450 and apply more presure on the English batting line-up. Will Stokes-led hosts resorting to an aggressive approach with the bat nowadays, they have given India a lot to think about before the final day's play.

England vs India, 5th Test: How will the weather hold up on Day 5 of series finale in Edgbaston?

The D-day is finally here. India and England are set to lock horns in the rescheduled fifth and final Test, of the incomplete series from last year, at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Friday (July 01). It has been a long wait for the series to resume after it ended all of a sudden due to the Covid crisis in the then Virat Kohli-led Indian camp after the fourth and penultimate Test at The Oval, London during the 2021 English summer.

Since then, a lot has changed in both Indian and English cricket. For India, Virat Kohli stepped aside as the Test captain and was replaced by Rohit Sharma. Rohit, however, will miss the series decider due to Covid concerns and Jasprit Bumrah will lead the side in the series finale. In 2021, Ravi Shastri was India's head coach whereas Rahul Dravid replaced him at the top post, in the latter stage of the previous calendar year.&nbsp;

England, on the other hand, also saw a plethora of changes. Joe Root resigned as the Test captain as Ben Stokes took over whereas Brendon McCullum is now serving as the head coach, after Chris Silverwood's departure. Their playing style has also changed by miles, being more aggressive in their approach. Hence, a fitting finale is on the cards between both sides with India being up by 2-1.
