Abstract

The present Western Disturbance is likely to move away east-northeastwards, causing isolated rain/snow over higher reaches of Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand during next 24 hours. Isolated thunderstorm and hailstorms are also likely over Uttarakhand during this period. • A fresh Western Disturbance is very likely to affect Western Himalayan region (Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan, Muzaffarabad, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand) from 13th April. The peak activity due to this system is likely on 14th April when the Western Himalayan Region is likely to experience scattered to fairly widespread rain/snow with isolated thunderstorms/hailstorms, gusty winds & lightning. • Due to confluence between southwesterly & easterly winds at lower levels, scattered to fairly widespread rainfall/thunderstorm accompanied with hailstorm, lightning & gusty/squally winds very likely over parts of SubHimalayan West Bengal & Sikkim and northeast India during next 3 days. Also, isolated rain/thundershowers with lightning & gusty winds likely over Gangetic West Bengal, south Odisha and south Chhattisgarh during next 2-3 days. • Under the influence of the low level trough/Wind Discontinuity, isolated to scattered rain/thundershowers with lightning & gusty winds occured over Tamilnadu, Kerala, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh during past 3-4 days. Isolated heavy rains and hailstorms also occured over Tamilnadu and Telangana during the period. The severity of thunderstorms are likely to reduce from today. However, isolated thunderstorm with lightning, hailstorms & gusty winds are likely to continue over Telangana during next 24 hours and thunderstorm with lightning & gusty winds over Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu and Kerala during next 48 hours. • Heat Wave conditions are likely to develop in isolated pockets of Gujarat state during 12th-13th April
