With rising temperatures across the country, weather conditions are set for a shift as rain and thunderstorms are expected in several northeastern states in the coming days.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a Western Disturbance and upper cyclonic circulation will bring rain, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds to Uttar Pradesh until March 22. Meanwhile, Arunachal Pradesh will witness light showers with thunderstorms and lightning from March 21 to 23, with heavy rainfall on March 21 and 22.
Under the influence of a cyclonic circulation, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura are likely to experience light rain and strong surface winds (30-50 kmph) over the next five days. Additionally, isolated hailstorms are expected over southern Assam on March 20 and 21.
IMD has, however, ruled out any heatwave conditions across the country for the next four to five days.
