IMD Weather Alert: Yellow Warning for Delhi, Severe Heatwave in Gujarat and Maharashtra, Rain and Storms Likely in Multiple States
As India steps into a new month, weather conditions across the country are showing a dramatic mix of relief and warning. While several states have recently experienced rain and thunderstorms that have helped lower soaring temperatures, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has now forecast a varied weather pattern for the coming days. From rainfall and gusty winds in northern regions to intense heatwave conditions in western states, May is expected to bring both cooling showers and scorching temperatures.
Rain Brings Relief in Many Regions, More Weather Activity Ahead
Over the past week, multiple parts of India have seen rainfall and thunderstorms, offering much-needed respite from extreme summer heat. According to the latest IMD forecast , this changing weather trend is likely to continue in the near future. Several regions may witness more rain, lightning, thunderstorms and strong winds, while others could experience severe heatwave conditions.
The weather department has also indicated that overall rainfall during May is expected to remain above normal in most parts of the country. However, some areas in east, northeast and east-central India may receive below-average rainfall.
Southwest Monsoon Likely to Reach Andaman Around Mid-May
The arrival of the southwest monsoon is one of the most anticipated weather events in India, and early signs are now emerging. According to IMD’s latest projection, the monsoon is expected to make its initial progress over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands by mid-May.
Mohapatra said, “The monsoon may arrive over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands around May 14-16.”
This timeline is considered an important indicator for the broader monsoon season across India.
