In preparation for the upcoming G20 Summit, the India Meteorological Department has installed an additional automatic weather station near Pragati Maidan, where the summit will take place. This station will provide specialised and real-time weather forecasts for the high-level event.

The IMD’s continuous weather monitoring for the summit will commence on Thursday morning. Weather updates and forecasts will be issued through a dedicated webpage on the IMD website at mausam.imd.gov.in/g20. The webpage will provide real-time data from the newly deployed automatic weather station (AWS) near the G20 Summit venue, including precise information on air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and rainfall. The data will be updated at 15-minute intervals to ensure users have the most accurate and up-to-date weather information.

Similar weather information will be available for nine other key locations across Delhi, including the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi railway station, Chandni Chowk, Akshardham Temple, Bahai/Lotus Temple, Qutab Minar, Red Fort/Rajghat, Delhi University, and Lodhi Road (Lodhi Garden).
