Abstract

Due to continued moisture incursion, strong wind convergence and conducive upper level features, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall activity is very likely to continue over parts of East and Northeast India during next 2-3 days with peak activity over Odisha, Jharkhand and Gangetic West Bengal on 26th April. Isolated heavy rainfall, thunderstorm/thundersquall likely over East & Northeast India. Hailstorms are also very likely over Odisha, Jharkhand and Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram & Tripura during this period. • Fairly widespread rainfall/thundershower activity along with isolated heavy rainfall likely over Kerala & Mahe during next 4-5 days. Rainfall activity likely to increase over Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry & Karaikal from 25th April for the subsequent 4 days. Thunderstorms, hailstorms, lightning, gusty winds & heavy rainfall are also likely over these regions during this period. • Moisture influx from the Arabian Sea and low level easterlies from the Bay of Bengal are likely to cause scattered to fairly widespread rain/thundershowers over Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh during 26th-27th April and scattered to fairly widespread rain/thundershowers over plains of Northwest India (mainly over Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh & Delhi) during 25th-27th April. Isolated hailstorms and gusty winds are also likely over the region during 26th-27th April. • A Low Pressure Area is likely to developed over south Andaman Sea & adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal around 30th April. It is likely to become more marked over the same region subsequently. Initially it is likely to move northnorthwestward and then north-northeastward towards Myanmar-southeast Bangladesh coasts during subsequent 3-4 days.
