El Nino is active now in India, may get stronger this monsoon: IMD

El Nino is active now in India, may get stronger this monsoon: IMD

El Nino conditions are currently active over the equatorial Pacific Ocean and are expected to strengthen during this southwest monsoon season, according to the latest climate bulletin from the Earth System Science Organisation (ESSO) and the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Scientists figure a natural El Nino, human-caused climate change. (AP) The agencies confirm that both the ocean and atmosphere now show clear El Nino signals. Sea surface temperatures are above normal, and warmer water is also present below the ocean surface. ALSO READ | India braces for harsher summer, weaker monsoon as El Niño grips equatorial Pacific What is El Nino? It is a climate pattern that develops in the equatorial Pacific Ocean when sea surface temperatures become warmer than normal. This warming changes wind patterns and air pressure, which then affects weather across the world. It happens when the usual trade winds weaken, allowing warm water that is normally pushed toward the western Pacific to spread toward the central and eastern Pacific. As a result, weather patterns shift globally, often causing heavy rain and …

South Korean prosecutors reject arrest warrant for Hybe chairman Bang Si-hyuk, asks police to build a stronger case | Korean News

4 min readHyderabadApr 24, 2026 06:29 PM IST South Korean prosecutors on Friday rejected a police request to arrest Bang Si-hyuk, the 53-year-old billionaire founder and chairman of Hybe, the entertainment company behind K-pop supergroup BTS, saying investigators had not yet built a strong enough case to justify his detention. The Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office returned the arrest warrant request to police, saying it was filed on charges of fraudulent unfair trading under the Capital Markets Act. “At this stage, there is insufficient evidence to justify the necessity of detention, and we have therefore requested a supplementary investigation,” the prosecution said. The Financial Crime Investigation Division of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency had applied for the arrest warrant on Tuesday on charges of fraudulent and unfair trading. What Bang Si-hyuk is accused of Bang Si-hyuk is accused of misleading investors in 2019 by telling them there were no plans for an initial public offering, while at the same time allegedly inducing them to sell their shares to a specific private equity fund.

In the face of squad challenges and stronger opposition, can Royal Challengers Bengaluru hold on to their long-awaited maiden title?

In the face of squad challenges and stronger opposition, can Royal Challengers Bengaluru hold on to their long-awaited maiden title?

5 min readUpdated: Mar 27, 2026 08:17 PM IST After 17 seasons of waiting, heartbreak, and near-misses, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally enter an Indian Premier League season as defending champions. For years, they were cast as the bridesmaid – the team with star power and expectations, but without a trophy to validate it. That narrative changed in 2025. But with that comes a different kind of burden. IPL success does not offer comfort – it invites scrutiny. Every defending champion becomes the benchmark, the side everyone prepares for a little more intensely. And history suggests that staying at the top is significantly harder than getting there. “We are the holders but this is a brand new year, and we’re looking forward to the challenge. We are a different group now, the players are a year older, and our opponents have evolved in certain ways. Conditions might also be different, so the challenge of this IPL will be completely different to the last one,” RCB head coach Andy Flower said on the eve of the …

Karan Aujla reacts after chaos at his Delhi and Mumbai concerts, tags organisers with a big question: ‘Coming back stronger or what?’ | Bollywood News

3 min readNew DelhiMar 4, 2026 01:09 PM IST What was meant to be one of the biggest music tours of the year has instead snowballed into a controversy. Karan Aujla’s much-hyped India tour kicked off on a chaotic note, with fans across cities alleging severe mismanagement at the venues. The first cracks appeared in Delhi, and by the time the tour reached Mumbai, social media was flooded with complaints. After his Bombay and Pune Holi-special concerts, Aujla finally broke his silence — albeit subtly. Taking to Instagram Stories, he posted a photo of himself standing outside his private jet and wrote: “Bombay I think we need to add a night concert.” He also tagged the event organisers, Team Innovation, asking: “Y’all coming back stronger or what?” The organisers were quick to respond on Instagram: “Bigger.

FIH Pro League | Stronger at the back, shaky in midfield: India concede late to split points with Spain | Hockey News

5 min readMumbaiFeb 24, 2026 06:41 PM IST Craig Fulton began with a caveat. “Performance first,” he stressed when asked about India’s winless stretch in the Pro League. From his vantage point, the 2–2 draw against Australia represented tangible improvement. The 1–1 result against Spain on Tuesday fits the same narrative: incremental gains in structure and control, even if the results column still lacks a win. There were striking parallels between the two contests. As was the case against Australia, India dictated long stretches of the first three quarters – looking composed and purposeful, although they weren’t as assertive against Spain as they were against Australia. Late goals headache But the final quarter proved India’s undoing once again. On Sunday, a hard-earned two-goal cushion evaporated in the last 15 minutes. Against Spain, they battled to protect a 1–0 lead, only to concede the equaliser with a minute left. It might have been worse: three penalty corners were conceded in the final 13 seconds, and only a heroic Suraj Karkera save from the last action of …
