A Western Disturbance is over the hills now and a circulation is over the plains. Another Western Disturbance is following on May 17. The combined effect of these systems will result in the activities. Today, weather activity will be isolated but from tomorrow, we can expect these weather conditions to spread out to many parts of the aforementioned states.
Therefore, we expect mild dust storm and thunderstorm during the next 2 to 3 days over Northwest India including Delhi. But we do not expect any significant relief. Temperatures are expected to remain 40 degrees or more over all these areas for the next many days.
Rise in temperatures by about three to four degrees during the next few days. Western parts of Rajasthan have already seen a rise in temperatures. Heat wave conditions are still not likely in the next four to five days.
Today also, isolated rains may be seen in parts of Punjab, Haryana, West Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. April 27, and 28, rains will be light only. April 29 onward, rains may intensify being slightly moderate in nature.
Pre-monsoon season of 2023 is turning out to be one of the rainiest in the last many years over these states. Crop damage was reported over parts of Punjab and Haryana during the second half of March due to intense rain, thunderstorm, strong winds and hailstorm activities.
