India Weather Today: Rain, Thunderstorms, and Gusty Winds Expected
Get ready for a wet week across much of India! The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a forecast predicting scattered to widespread, light to moderate rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds over the next five days. This means many regions will see some form of precipitation.
National Forecast: A Week of Wet Weather
The IMD's forecast paints a picture of widespread precipitation across India. Parts of the country can anticipate thundersqualls, hailstorms, and even duststorms in various areas. While maximum temperatures aren't expected to change significantly in the next two days, a gradual drop of 3-5 degrees Celsius is predicted over the following 4-5 days, particularly in West India. Gangetic West Bengal and Odisha, however, are expected to experience hot and humid conditions between May 8th and 11th.
- West and Northwest India: This region, influenced by a Western disturbance, will experience light to moderate rainfall, thundersqualls, and hailstorms. Thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds (40-60 kmph) are also anticipated in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh.
- Gujarat, Goa, Konkan, Marathwada, and Madhya Maharashtra: Expect isolated to scattered rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds (up to 50 kmph) over the next four days. Isolated hailstorms are also likely.
- Northeast India (Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh): Rainy weather will prevail for the next 7 days due to an upper air cyclonic circulation. Fairly widespread to widespread light to moderate rainfall, along with thunderstorms and lightning, is anticipated, with isolated heavy rainfall possible until May 8th.
- East and Central India (Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, Sikkim, Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh): Scattered to widespread light to moderate rainfall with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds (40-60 kmph) will continue for several days.
- South India (Karnataka, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, Telangana, Rayalaseema, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karaikal): Similar weather conditions are expected for the next 7 days, with isolated heavy rainfall possible in some areas.
Additionally, squally winds (45-55 kmph) are likely along and off the Oman coast, over parts of the Northwest Arabian Sea, and along and off Gujarat coasts.
Delhi Weather Update: Rain and Strong Winds Continue
Delhi residents should brace for more rain. The city is expected to continue experiencing rain spells, thunderstorms, lightning, and strong surface winds. Temperatures will hover around 34 degrees Celsius, with the air quality remaining in the 'moderate' category.
International Weather: Canary Islands and Poland
The Canary Islands are bracing for significant rainfall later this week, potentially impacting tourists. This follows recent disruptive weather events. In Poland, a varied weekend forecast is expected, with fluctuating temperatures and varying chances of rain across several regions.
Conclusion: Stay Safe and Informed
With widespread rain and potential for severe weather across various parts of India and beyond, it's crucial to stay updated on the latest weather reports.
