As the scorching heatwave grips various parts of East and South Peninsular India, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings for continued severe heatwave conditions over the next five days. The IMD‘s forecast also includes a mix of rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds across different regions.
“A spell of rainfall accompanied by isolated thunderstorms/lightning and heavy rainfall is likely over Northeast India from 28-30 April,” it said.
In its latest statement, the IMD highlighted the persistence of heatwave conditions in several areas, including Gangetic West Bengal, parts of Odisha, and isolated pockets in Sub-Himalayan West Bengal. Additionally, the forecast warns of heatwave conditions in Bihar, Jharkhand, Telangana, and other regions, underscoring the widespread impact of the ongoing heatwave.
“Heatwave conditions in isolated pockets over Bihar, Jharkhand, Telangana, Rayalaseema, Interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, East Uttar Pradesh during the next 5 days; Kerala & Mahe during 26th-28th; Konkan during 27th-29th and West Uttar Pradesh, Coastal Andhra Pradesh & Yanam during 28th-30th April 2024,” IMD said in a statement.
However, amidst the sweltering temperatures, relief may be in sight for some regions. The IMD predicts a spell of rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning over Northeast India from April 28th to 30th, offering a reprieve from the oppressive heat.
Furthermore, the IMD anticipates fresh spells of rainfall and thunderstorms over the Western Himalayan region, Northwest India, and adjoining Central India. These weather patterns, expected from April 26th to 29th, could bring much-needed moisture to the parched regions, albeit with the possibility of hailstorms in certain areas.
“Western Disturbance as a cyclonic circulation lies over south Iran & adjoining south Pakistan in lower & middle levels. An induced cyclonic circulation lies over West Rajasthan in lower tropospheric levels. Under their influence: Fairly widespread to widespread light to moderate rainfall/snowfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning very likely over Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh-Gilgit-Baltistan-Muzaffarabad, Himachal Pradesh and isolated rainfall over Uttarakhand during 26th-29th April 2024, with the possibility of hailstorm over Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh-Gilgit-Baltistan-Muzaffarabad on 26th and Himachal Pradesh during 26th-28th and Uttarakhand on 28th and 29th April 2024,” it said in a statement.
“Isolated Heavy rainfall also likely over Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh-Gilgit-Baltistan-Muzaffarabad during 27th-29th April and over Himachal Pradesh on 29th April 2024,” IMD said, adding that isolated to scattered rainfall accompanied by thunderstorm, lightning & gusty winds (40-50 kmph) very likely over Punjab, Haryana-Chandigarh-Delhi during 26th-28th and over Rajasthan & West Uttar Pradesh on 26th April, 2024.
The weather agency also warns of a dust storm over West Rajasthan, adding to the atmospheric instability prevalent in the region.
As the nation grapples with contrasting weather phenomena, the IMD urges residents to stay informed and take necessary precautions to mitigate the impact of extreme weather conditions. With heatwave conditions persisting in several states and sporadic rainfall offering temporary relief in others, India’s diverse climate continues to challenge both meteorologists and residents alike.
IMD further said that fairly widespread to widespread light to moderate rainfall/snowfall accompanied by isolated thunderstorms & lightning & gusty winds (40-50 kmph) is very likely over Arunachal Pradesh and scattered to fairly widespread rainfall over Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram & Tripura during 26th-30th April 2024.
It added that isolated light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms & lightning is very likely over Sikkim on April 28, 2024. It added that heavy rainfall is likely over Arunachal Pradesh and Assam & Meghalaya on April 28 & 30, 2024.
