Unpredictable weather patterns are affecting many parts of the country. While some regions are experiencing thunderstorms and rain disrupting daily life, many others are grappling with intense heat and heatwaves.
Weather Update: India is currently experiencing fluctuating weather conditions. Several states are under the grip of severe heatwaves, while others are witnessing continuous thunderstorms and rainfall. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has released its weather forecast for the day, predicting heavy rain and thunderstorms in some states.
Other areas will continue to experience intense heat and heatwaves. The changing weather patterns across the country are attributed to the active Western Disturbances and cyclonic winds, leading to varied weather conditions in different regions.
