India is experiencing sudden weather shifts across various regions. Delhi-NCR is experiencing a seesaw of cloudy skies and intense sunshine. Rajasthan anticipates gusty winds and light rain, while Bihar is under a heavy rainfall alert for the next seven days.
Weather Forecast: Currently, Delhi-NCR is experiencing fluctuating weather conditions with periods of dense cloud cover and bright sunshine, leading to increased humidity. However, according to the Meteorological Department, a change in weather is expected from Monday, June 2nd. Light rain and thunderstorms are anticipated between June 2nd and 4th, with wind speeds potentially reaching 30-60 kilometers per hour.
During this period, the maximum temperature is expected to range between 35-38 degrees Celsius, and the minimum temperature between 25-29 degrees Celsius. Subsequently, the weather will be dry on June 5th and 6th, although partly cloudy skies and humid conditions will persist. Maximum temperatures are predicted between 37-39 degrees Celsius and minimum temperatures between 25-28 degrees Celsius.
Delhi-NCR: A Play of Humidity and Clouds
Delhi-NCR is currently experiencing highly unstable weather, fluctuating between dense cloud cover and intense sunshine. Daytime sunshine increases temperatures, while cloud cover provides temporary relief. This is causing residents to experience both humidity and heat. The Meteorological Department predicts light rain and b winds in Delhi-NCR from June 2nd to 4th. Wind speeds could reach 30-60 kilometers per hour, resulting in a slight temperature drop.
Meteorologists anticipate maximum temperatures between 35-38 degrees Celsius and minimum temperatures reaching 25-29 degrees Celsius. While the weather will be dry on June 5th and 6th, the presence of some cloud cover will maintain humid conditions. People are advised to exercise caution, as b winds may cause damage to trees and weaker structures.
Rajasthan: Impact of Western Disturbances
While most parts of Rajasthan have experienced dry weather, the activation of western disturbances is changing the situation. Light rain fell in several areas, including the Jaipur division, on Saturday, indicating the approaching monsoon. The Meteorological Department has predicted thunderstorms, gusty winds, and b winds in Rajasthan between June 2nd and 4th. Wind speeds may reach 50-60 kilometers per hour.
Experts predict that the state's maximum temperature will remain below 45 degrees Celsius for the next 4-5 days, offering some relief compared to previous days. However, b winds and rain in some districts may disrupt daily life. Farmers in rural areas should take precautions to protect their crops.
Bihar: Heavy Rainfall Alert for Seven Days
The Seemanchal region of Bihar is expected to experience heavy rainfall for the next week. According to Virendra Kumar Jha, a scientist at the Purnia Meteorological Department, monsoon activity in Bihar will remain active for the next three months, and heavy rainfall may lead to flood-like situations in several districts. Alerts have been issued for Purnia, Araria, Kishanganj, and other districts.
The Meteorological Department has warned of b winds at 30-50 kilometers per hour and lightning. Local authorities have urged people to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions. Heavy rainfall may cause rivers to swell, increasing the risk of floods. While the monsoon rains will benefit farmers in other parts of Bihar besides the Seemanchal region, there is also a risk of waterlogging and road blockages.
Assam: Floods Disrupt Life
Continuous rainfall in Assam, a state in northeastern India, has caused landslides and floods. This natural disaster has claimed at least eight lives and floods continue to rage across 17 districts. Over 78,000 people have been affected, with red alerts issued in three districts and orange alerts in eight.
The flooding in Assam has been exacerbated by rainwater flowing from the upper regions of Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya. Relief and rescue operations are underway, but heavy rainfall continues to create difficulties for the affected population. Authorities have advised caution while traveling and to avoid flood-affected areas.
Mumbai: Rainfall Pause, Humidity Concerns
Mumbai experienced the earliest monsoon onset this year, but rainfall has since subsided. The reduction in rainfall over the past few days has led to increased temperatures and humidity. Meteorologists suggest a low probability of significant rainfall in Mumbai before June 6th. However, light showers may occur in some areas, offering temporary relief but not eliminating the humid conditions.
Mumbai residents are advised to take extra precautions against humidity and heat. Adequate hydration and limiting time spent outdoors in the sun are recommended.
