The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast rainfall in several parts of India on November 4, including Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka and Chhattisgarh. The impact of Cyclone Murasu continues across southern India, with heavy rainfall and b winds expected in some areas. However, no major storm warning has been issued for Delhi or north-western India.
The IMD has forecast very heavy rainfall in isolated areas of coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam on November 4. Heavy rainfall is also likely at isolated places in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, south interior Karnataka, Telangana and Chhattisgarh.
Rainfall is expected to continue in Odisha. Parts of Jharkhand and eastern Madhya Pradesh may experience light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning.
However, claims circulating on social media and in some reports about simultaneous torrential rainfall across 19 states and storms with wind speeds of 90 kmph do not reflect a uniform warning issued by the IMD for all these states. According to the weather department, the best wind impact has been concentrated in cyclone-affected areas of southern India. No comparable severe warning has been issued for north-western India.
Severe Cyclonic Storm Murasu, which developed over the Bay of Bengal, crossed the Andhra Pradesh coast on the morning of November 3. It made landfall near Ongole, between Nellore and Narasapur.
During landfall, wind speeds ranged between 100 and 110 kmph, while gusts reached up to 120 kmph. According to the IMD, the cyclone is gradually weakening. Despite this, heavy rainfall is likely in some parts of coastal Andhra Pradesh on November 4.
The cyclone poses risks of waterlogging in low-lying areas, falling trees and disruption to transportation. The IMD has advised fishermen not to venture into coastal sea areas off Andhra Pradesh until the morning of November 4.
Delhi is expected to experience clear weather on Wednesday, November 4. The IMD has not issued any warning of heavy rainfall or b thunderstorms for the national capital.
Light haze may be observed during the morning hours, but it is expected to clear as the day progresses, allowing sunshine to prevail.
According to the weather department's forecast, the maximum temperature in Delhi is likely to remain between 27 and 29 degrees Celsius on Wednesday. The minimum temperature is expected to fall to between 14 and 16 degrees Celsius.
Winds from the north-west direction may blow at around 15 kmph during the afternoon. Wind speeds are expected to decrease after evening.
Morning and night temperatures in Delhi have started to become cooler. While daytime conditions remain relatively normal under sunshine, temperatures are expected to decline after sunset. Similar weather conditions may continue over the next few days.
No widespread heavy rainfall or major storm alert has been issued for Uttar Pradesh on November 4. The IMD's national forecast also does not include a warning of storms with wind speeds of 80 to 90 kmph for the state.
Weather conditions may vary across cities such as Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Meerut and Gorakhpur. Some areas may experience light morning haze, while others are likely to receive sunshine during the day. Morning and night temperatures may gradually decline with the beginning of November.
Similarly, no statewide warning of heavy rainfall or severe storms has been issued for Bihar.
Weather conditions are expected to remain generally normal in several districts, including Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga and Bhagalpur. However, falling temperatures during the morning and night may bring cooler conditions, particularly for people travelling early in the day.
Residents should refer to local weather department updates in case of sudden changes in weather conditions.
No widespread rainfall or b wind activity is forecast across Rajasthan on Wednesday. Weather conditions are expected to remain generally normal in several areas, including Jaipur, Ajmer, Sikar, Bikaner and Bharatpur.
Daytime sunshine is likely to keep temperatures relatively comfortable, although mornings and nights may remain cooler. Variations between daytime and nighttime temperatures are common across several parts of Rajasthan during the beginning of November.
No major weather changes are currently indicated for Punjab and Haryana. According to the IMD, widespread heavy rainfall is not expected across north-western India this week.
Similarly, no widespread warning of heavy rainfall or landslides has been issued for the entire states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. However, weather conditions can change quickly in mountainous areas. People travelling to these regions should remain informed about local weather forecasts and road conditions.
Residents in areas where rainfall or b wind warnings have been issued should remain alert and follow the latest local weather forecasts.
Farmers, particularly in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala and Chhattisgarh, should check district-level weather updates before carrying out agricultural activities. In areas expecting heavy rainfall, arrangements should be made to prevent water accumulation in fields.
Farmers with standing crops should plan harvesting and other agricultural activities according to prevailing weather conditions.
During b winds, people should avoid standing near weak trees and electricity poles. During thunderstorms and lightning, open fields and areas beneath trees should be avoided.
