Weather Update: Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms Likely Across Several States in the Next 24 Hours
Weather conditions across India are changing rapidly, bringing a mix of heat, rain, and storm activity. While many regions are already experiencing unusually high temperatures for March, several parts of the country are now preparing for rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds.
According to the India Meteorological Department, multiple weather systems are currently active, leading to varied conditions across different regions.
Snowfall and Rain Expected in Northern Hills
The northern hill states are likely to see intense weather activity over the next 48 hours. Regions such as Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand may experience heavy rainfall along with snowfall in higher altitudes.
Thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds are also expected in these areas. These developments in the hills often influence weather patterns in nearby plains, leading to sudden changes.
Plains on Alert for Storms and Strong Winds
The impact of these systems is likely to be felt in the plains, including Delhi NCR, Haryana, and Rajasthan. These regions may witness rain, hailstorms, and lightning along with gusty winds reaching speeds of 40 to 50 km per hour.
In parts of Rajasthan, including Jaipur, light rainfall has already been recorded. Cloud cover and drizzle have contributed to a slight drop in temperatures, offering some relief from the rising heat.
Heavy Rainfall in Eastern and Northeastern Regions
Eastern and northeastern states are also likely to experience active weather conditions. States like Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar, and Jharkhand are expected to receive thunderstorms and heavy rainfall between March 24 and March 28, along with winds that could reach up to 50 km per hour.
In the Northeast, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Meghalaya are likely to witness intense rainfall on March 24 and again around March 27 and 28. These areas may also experience lightning and strong winds during this period.
What Is Causing This Shift in Weather
The current weather pattern is mainly influenced by multiple active Western Disturbance systems moving across North-West India. These systems bring moisture and instability, leading to rainfall, storms, and fluctuating temperatures.
Their impact is not limited to the hills. They also affect the plains and can trigger widespread weather changes across regions.
South and West India to Remain Warm
While many regions prepare for rain, parts of South and West India are expected to continue experiencing warm and humid conditions. Coastal areas such as Konkan and states like Kerala may see higher humidity levels around March 25, with little change in temperature.
What Residents Should Keep in Mind
With such varied weather conditions expected across the country, residents should stay alert and prepared. Rainfall may bring temporary relief from heat, but thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds could lead to disruptions.
It is advisable to keep track of local weather updates, avoid unnecessary travel during storms, and take precautions in areas prone to heavy rain or strong winds.
Overall, the coming days are set to bring a dynamic mix of weather across India, reflecting the changing seasonal patterns as the country moves closer to the summer months.
