January 20, 2019 6:30 PM |


To begin with North India, the Western Disturbance lies over North Pakistan and adjoining Jammu and Kashmir. Its induced cyclonic circulation is seen over Northwest Rajasthan and adjoining East central Pakistan. Both these systems would be moving east/northeastwards slowly.

Due to these systems, moderate to heavy rain and snow are expected over Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. In fact, light to moderate rain with isolated hailstorm activity will also occur over Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, West Uttar Pradesh and North Rajasthan.
Significant fall in day temperatures will be seen over all these places.

Moving to Central India, due to prevalence of warm and moist winds, significant rise in temperatures will occur over Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha and Chhattisgarh. However, later towards the night Northwest Madhya Pradesh may receive spell of light rain.

Meanwhile in east and Northeast India, due to approaching active Western Disturbance, the anti-cyclone has shifted over Odisha Coast, which is providing moist winds. Hence, dry weather with rise in temperatures is expected over East Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
