Uttar Pradesh has a humid subtropical climate and
experiences four seasons. The winter in January and
February is followed by summer between March and
May and the monsoon season between June and
September.
•Summers are extreme with temperatures fluctuating
anywhere between 0°C and 50°C in parts of the state
coupled with dry hot winds called the Loo. The
Gigantic plain varies from semi arid to sub-humid.
•The mean annual rainfall ranges from 650mm in the
south west corner of the state to 1000 mm in the
eastern and south eastern parts of the state. Primarily a
summer phenomenon, the Bay of Bengal branch of the
Indian Monsoon is the major bearer of rain in most
parts of state. After summer it is the southwest
monsoon which brings most of the rain here, while in
winters rain due to the western disturbances and
northeast monsoon also contribute small quantities
towards the overall precipitation of the state.
•Typical summer months are from March to June, with
maximum temperatures ranging from 30 to 38°C
(86to100°F). There is low relative humidity of around
20% and dust laden winds blow throughout the season.
National Centre for Seismology, Ministry of Earth Sciences
National Centre for Seismology (NCS) is the nodal agency of the Governmen t of India for
monitoring of earthquake activity in the country. NCS maintains National Seismological Network of
115 stations each having state of art equipment and spreading all across the country. NCS monitors
earthquake activity all across the country through its 24x7 round the clock monitoring centre.
Various Department for NCS
•Earthquake monitoring & Services.
•Earthquake hazard & risk Assessments.
•Geophysical Observation System.

Operational Centre with Base Isolation (Delhi

Lodhi Road.
This building is the command center for relay of Seismometer at Ridge Underground
Seismic information to various channels of media Vault (Delhi)
like News Channels, Twitter, Facebook Etc.
•This building is to be designed structurally
considering highest magnitude of Earth quake. The
building should be base isolated. It needs to be
protected at any cost.
•All the data from various regional centers of entire
nation via network of 115 stations is collected here
and recorded. Digital Broad Band Seismograph
