GUWAHATI: The weather patterns are expected to change due to rising temperatures across the country, with rain and thunderstorms expected to occur in several northeastern states in the coming days.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a western disturbance and upper cyclonic circulation will bring rain, thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds to Uttar Pradesh until March 22. Meanwhile, Arunachal Pradesh will witness light showers with thunderstorms and lightning from March 21 to 23, with heavy rainfall on March 21 and 22.
Over the next five days, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura are likely to experience light rain and strong surface winds (30–50 kmph) due to a cyclonic circulation. Additionally, isolated hailstorms are expected over southern Assam on March 20 and 21.
However, IMD has ruled out the possibility of heatwave conditions across the country for the next four to five days.
Earlier, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced that Northeast India is likely to experience rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds starting March 11.
The IMD has identified two troughs influencing the weather in the region. One trough extends along longitude 93°E to the north of latitude 23°N in the lower tropospheric levels, while another runs along longitude 82°E to the north of latitude 23°N in the middle tropospheric levels.
