Punjab, Haryana, North Rajasthan all set to witness longest Pre Monsoon rain epsiode of season

The states of Punjab, Haryana, and North Rajasthan saw some good rains around May 3 and 4. However, thereafter, dry weather has been persisting over the region with temperatures settling above normal or around the normal.

Moreover, there have been several stations that saw yesterday’s maximums touching the highest point for the first time this season. For instance, Ambala settled at 41.4°C (four degrees above normal,), Chandigarh 40.4°C, Amritsar 40.2°C, Patiala 42°C, Sri Ganganagar 45.6°C, and Churu 45.5°C.

A similar situation is likely to continue on May 8 and 9. May 10 onward, the weather activity will build up for quite a number of days.

For the first three days, i.e. between May 10 and 12, weather activity will be mostly limited to thunderstorms, lightning, and dust storm over Punjab, Haryana and North Rajasthan. Delhi and the NCR region will also see rains during this time. Meanwhile, between May 13 and 16, widespread rains and thundershowers are expected over these areas as both intensity and spread of weather activities will increase. Even May 17 may see some showers.

These rains will be attributed to the upcoming successive Western Disturbances and their induced Circulations which will first begin rains in the hills of North India.

During this time, temperatures will drop, and summer heat and heat wave like conditions, which are prevailing in pockets will take a backseat. Temperatures are likely to drop around below normal around 35 degrees Celsius or so. Moreover, the foothills may see these temperatures dropping even below 35 degrees.

This upcoming rainfall episode will be the longest Pre Monsoon spell for the region and will be spread to many areas.

Northwest India enjoys Pre Monsoon season a little longer than the rest of the regions. Moreover, Pre Monsoon extends over the plains of North India beyond the months of May as Southwest Monsoon does not arrive until fag end of June and in some places, even during the first week of July.

However, temperatures during the month of June are way better as compared to the months of May, which is undoubtedly the hottest. June happens to be a shade better since other adjoining areas see the arrival of Monsoon due to which wind direction changes resulting in a marginal drop of temperatures.

[Marathi] महाराष्ट्र मध्ये लवकरच पूर्व मान्सून गतिविधींना सुरुवात

सध्या, विदर्भातील एक दोन ठिकाणी उष्णतेची लाट अनुभवण्यात येत आहे. परंतु, दक्षिण पश्चिम दिशेने येणाऱ्या वाऱ्यांमुळे, गेल्या २४ तासात, मध्य महाराष्ट्र आणि विदर्भातील काही भागांच्या तापमानात घट दिसून आली आहे. या वाऱ्यांमुळे विदर्भातील पश्चिम भागांच्या रहिवाशांना उष्णतेच्या लाट पासून सुटका मिळाली आहे.

खरं तर, आर्द्र वारे, उत्तर अरब सागर पासून घेऊन, गुजरात पासून होऊन, उत्तर मध्य महाराष्ट्र आणि विदर्भात सध्या वाहत आहे. स्कायमेटचा अंदाज आहे कि ११ मे पर्येन्त अशीच स्थिती कायम राहणार. त्यानंतर, मराठवाडा आणि विदर्भ मध्ये ११ आणि १२ मे ला हलक्या पावसाची शक्यता आहे.

स्कायमेटच्या अंदाजानुसार, दक्षिण मध्य महाराष्ट्रातील एक दोन ठिकाणी हलका पाऊस पडेल, असा दिसून येत आहे. त्यानंतर, १३ ते १५ मे च्या मध्ये हवामान पुन्हा एकदा कोरडे होईल. परंतु १६ आणि १७ मे ला राज्यातील काही ठिकाणी परत पाऊस परतण्याची शक्यता आहे.

पावसाचे कारण, विदर्भ आणि मराठवाडयावर विकसित होणारी ट्रफ रेषा आहे, जी आंतरिक कर्नाटक पर्येन्त विस्तारली जाईल.

पूर्व मॉन्सूनच्या हंगामात, कोंकण व गोव्यातील हवामान संपूर्ण पणे कोरडे राहतात. परंतु, अधूनमधून विदर्भ आणि मराठवाड्याच्या जवळपास विकसित झालेल्या ट्रफ रेषे मुळे, पूर्व मान्सून गतिविधी पावसाच्या रूपात विदर्भ, मराठवाडा आणि मध्य महाराष्ट्राच्या काही भागात नोंदाव्यात येते.

जून महिन्यात पावसाचा जोर संपूर्ण महाराष्ट्रावर वाढतो आणि चांगल्या पावसाची नोंद करण्यात येते.

Pre-Monsoon showers to help in abatement of heat wave from parts of Maharashtra

Isolated pockets of Vidarbha are still under the grip of heat wave conditions. However, due to the blowing of southwesterly winds, temperatures have dropped over Madhya Maharashtra and parts of Vidarbha in the last 24 hours. These winds have helped in abatement of heat wave from the western parts of Vidarbha.

In fact, these humid winds are originating from the North Arabian Sea and travelling via Gujarat towards North Madhya Maharashtra and Vidarbha. According to meteorologists, dry weather conditions would continue over the entire state till May 10. Thereafter, light rains are expected to commence in Marathwada and Vidarbha from May 11.

Possibility of light rains over isolated places of South Madhya Maharashtra during this period cannot be ruled out. Thereafter, weather would turn dry from May 13. While, on May 16 and 17, there are chances of light rains over the state. These rains would be in the wake of a trough over Vidarbha, Marathwada and would extend up till Interior Karnataka.

Heat wave conditions will continue to persist in parts of Vidarbha for two more days, abating thereafter due to the upcoming spell of rain. The day temperatures will scale down by 3-4 degrees and hover around the 40 degrees Celsius mark.

Dust storm and rain in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad from May 10

May is the hottest month for the National Capital Region as the average normal maximum temperature of the city during this month ranges between 39˚ to 40˚C.

During this season, on April 30, both Palam and Safdarjung observatories recorded their highest maximum temperature of 45.3˚C and 43.7˚C, respectively. Thereafter, due to back-to-back spells of rain and thundershower activities, the day temperature in Delhi-NCR dropped significantly.

Now since the last 3 days, in the wake of dry weather conditions, day temperatures in Delhi and NCR are increasing continuously. Yesterday, Delhi’s Safdarjung Observatory (Base observatory) recorded its maximum temperature at 41.3˚C, which was about 3 degrees above normal.

Today also we expect the maximum temperatures of Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad to rise and settle 2 to 3 degrees above normal.

However, relief is in sight for the National Capital Region from May 10 as a fresh spell of pre-Monsoon activity is likely to commence over the region. Initially on May 10 and 11, dust storm and thunderstorm activity will affect Delhi and NCR.

But moving further, the intensity and spread of these weather activities will increase. And from May 12 and 13, widespread rain and thundershowers accompanied with strong winds will be witnessed in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad.

As it is the pre-Monsoon season, these rains will take place mostly during late afternoon or evening hours. Due to widespread rain, significant drop will be observed in both day and night temperatures of the region.

[Marathi] श्रीनगर, गुलमर्ग, मनाली, शिमला आणि नैनिताल मध्ये पावसाची लवकरच सुरुवात

सध्या, एक नवीन पश्चिम विक्षोभ अफगानिस्तानच्या उत्तर भाग व लगतच्या पाकिस्तानवर बनलेला आहे. त्याच्या प्रभावामुळे एक चक्रवाती परिस्थिती पाकिस्तानच्या मध्य भागांवर बनलेली आहे. दोन्ही हवामान प्रणालीच्या प्रभावाने १० मे पासून उत्तर भारतावर पावसाची प्रक्रिया सुरु होईल.

गेल्या २४ तासात, जम्मू काश्मीरच्या एक दोन ठिकाणी जसे श्रीनगर आणि त्याच्या आसपास हलक्या पावसाची नोंद करण्यात आली आहे. याउलट, हिमाचल प्रदेश आणि उत्तराखंडचे बहुतांश भाग मात्र कोरडेच राहिले.

स्कायमेटच्या अंदाजानुसार, १० मे पासून पावसाची गतिविधी व जोर उत्तर भारतावर वाढणार आणि जम्मू काश्मीर, हिमाचल प्रदेश आणि उत्तराखंडचे बहुतांश भाग चांगल्या पावसाची नोंद करणार.

११ ते १६ मे च्या मध्ये, एका नंतर एक पश्चिमी विशोभ पश्चिम हिमालयावर विकसित होतील, ज्यामुळे गतिविधींचा जोर उत्तर भारतावर वाढेल. खरं तर एक दोन ठिकाणी जोरदार पावसाची पण शक्यता आहे.

तसे तर, मे महिन्यात फार कमी पश्चिमी विक्षोभ हिमालय जवळ पोहोचतात परंतु येणाऱ्या आठवड्यात एका नंतर एक हवामान प्रणाली पश्चिम हिमालयावर विकसित होतील, ज्यामुळे येत्या आठवड्यात पावसाची विविध गतिविधी उत्तर भारतावर चांगला जोर पकडेल.

पावसा शिवाय, एक दोन ठिकाणी बर्फवृष्टीची पण शक्यता आहे. कारण पावसामुळे तापमानात लक्षणीय घट दिसून येते, ज्यामुळे बर्फवृष्टीची पण स्थिती निर्माण होते.

इंग्रेजीत वाचा: Fresh spell of rain in Srinagar, Gulmarg, Manali, Shimla, Mussoorie and Nainital likely soon

पर्यटन स्थळ जसे, श्रीनगर, पहलगाम, शिमला, मनाली, कुल्लू, हरिद्वार, नैनिताल मध्ये पावसाची शक्यात आहे. तापमानात लक्षणीय घट दिसून, या स्थळातील हवामान आनंददायी होईल. वैष्णव देवी मध्ये पण पाऊस पडणार, असा दिसून येत आहे.

पुढील १३ मे च्या नंतर, भूस्खलन, अर्थात माती घसरून पडण्याची पण शक्यता आहे, ज्यामुळे पर्यटन स्थळी असलेल्या पर्यटकांना त्रास होऊ शकतो.

Fresh spell of rain in Srinagar, Gulmarg, Manali, Shimla, Mussoorie and Nainital likely soon

A fresh Western Disturbance is currently seen over North Afghanistan and adjoining parts of Pakistan. This system has also induced a cyclonic circulation that lies over central parts of Pakistan. These systems will start affecting parts of North India from May 10.

But light rain and thundershower was observed at isolated places in Jammu and Kashmir such as Srinagar and its nearby areas in the last 24 hours.

From May 10, the spread and intensity of the weather activity will increase and good rain along with thundershower will be observed in the hill states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

Between May 11 and 16, successive Western Disturbances will keep affecting the Western Himalayas and widespread weather activities will occur over most parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and few parts of Uttarakhand. In fact, few intense showers may also occur over these areas.

These successive weather systems will be a rare scenario, as in the month of May such intense Western Disturbances are very rare. But this spell will be prolonged and widespread.

Isolated snowfall over the upper reaches cannot be ruled out. As whenever there is continuous rainfall, temperatures of the region drop and lead to snow in the higher latitudes.

All the main tourist destinations like Srinagar, Pahalgam, Gulmarg, Shimla, Manali, Kullu, Mussoorie, Haridwar, Nainital and Dehradun will observe rain and thundershower activities. Due to significant fall in day temperature, the weather over these places will become pleasant. Rain may also be observed in Vaishno Devi and Katra.

Due to continuous weather activities, after May 13, incidents of mudslides and landslides may take place, which may cause disruption to tourist and local people.

Northeastern states to witness another spell of pre-Monsoon rain starting tomorrow

Since the last two days pre-Monsoon rain and thundershower activities have reduced over the northeastern states i.e. Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. However, parts of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh have been witnessing on and off weather activities. But rest all the states remained almost dry.

Now from tomorrow i.e. May 9, pre-Monsoon rains will once resume over the northeastern states and widespread good spell of rain and thundershowers will affect the Northeast region. These weather activities will continue for the coming one week or so.

The reason for these widespread and prolonged weather activities can be attributed to the moisture incursion will remain intact from Bay of Bengal in the form of southerly/southwesterly winds. Moreover, a cyclonic circulation is persisting over Arunachal Pradesh and adjoining area.

During this rainy spell, we expect one or two heavy spells of rain and thundershowers. In fact, lightning strikes may also occur in few parts of Northeast India.

Northeast India is once again is all set to witness pre-Monsoon rains again, which will help cover up and large rainfall deficiency of states like Mizoram to some extent. Weather over the region will not completely dry now.

[Hindi] हरियाणा का साप्ताहिक मौसम पूर्वानुमान (8 से 14 मई, 2019)

हरियाणा में उत्तर से दक्षिण तक और पूरब से पश्चिम तक यानी राज्य के सभी शहरों में 8 और 9 मई को भीषण गर्मी रहेगी। गर्म लू के थपेड़े झेलने पड़ेंगे। फतेहाबाद, सिरसा, हिसार, भिवानी और आसपास के शहरों में लू का प्रकोप ज्यादा हो सकता है।

लेकिन 10 मई से हरियाणा में स्थितियां बदलेंगी क्योंकि जम्मू कश्मीर के पास एक प्रभावी पश्चिमी विक्षोभ आएगा और राजस्थान पर एक चक्रवाती हवा का क्षेत्र विकसित होगा।

इन सभी सिस्टमों के कारण शुष्क हवाओं का असर बंद होगा और आर्द्र हवाएँ चलनी शुरू होंगी। जिसके चलते 11 और 12 मई को उत्तरी हरियाणा में अंबाला, यमुनानगर, कुरुक्षेत्र, करनाल, रोहतक और आसपास के भागों में धूल भरी आंधी चलेगी। साथ ही बादलों की गर्जना के साथ हल्की वर्षा होगी।

धीरे-धीरे बारिश तेज होगी और हमारा अनुमान है कि 13 और 14 मई को समूचे हरियाणा में बादलों की गर्जना के साथ हल्की से मध्यम बारिश देखने को मिलेगी।

इस दौरान जींद, झज्जर, सोनीपत और आसपास के शहरों में भारी वर्षा हो सकती है। इन्हीं 2 दिनों में बारिश के साथ कुछ समय के लिए 30 से 40 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटे की रफ्तार से हवाएं चल सकती हैं। हवा की रफ्तार 50 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटे तक जा सकती है।

यह बारिश लू से निश्चित तौर पर राहत दिलाएगी क्योंकि तापमान में भारी कमी आएगी। मॉनसून आने में अभी बहुत देरी है ऐसे में यही प्री-मॉनसून वर्षा तेज़ गर्मी से बचाने के लिए वरदान का कम करेगी।

फसलों की बात करें तो हरियाणा में रबी फसलों की कटाई-मड़ाई लगभग हो चुकी है। लेकिन अगर देर से बोई गई फसल अभी खेतों में है तो जल्दी निपटा लें। क्योंकि 10 मई से 14 मई तक मौसम बिगड़ेगा।

दूसरी ओर बरसीम और सब्जियों की फसलों के लिए 8 और 9 मई तक मौसम चुनौती बनेगा। बाद में बारिश इन फसलों के लिए भी अच्छी रहेगी।

Weather Forecast May 8: Rain in Bengaluru and Chennai, dry weather in Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai

To begin with North India, a fresh Western Disturbance lies over North Afghanistan. Its induced cyclonic circulation is over Central Pakistan. Thus, weather in Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh will remain mainly dry with isolated patchy rains. Meanwhile, due to hot winds from north/northwest direction, we expect weather of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, North Rajasthan and West Uttar Pradesh to remain dry and hot.

Weather will be dry with clear sky over entire Central India. Heat wave conditions are expected to cover some more parts of Rajasthan, Vidarbha, Marathwada and Madhya Pradesh. Temperatures of Gujarat will settle near normal.

In east/northeast India, a cyclonic circulation is seen over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal. A trough is extending across West Bengal and Odisha. Therefore, scattered light to moderate rains will continue over parts of Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim and northeastern states. Weather of Bihar, Jharkhand, Gangetic West Bengal and Odisha will be dry. Isolated rains may occur in Coastal Odisha.

8 मई का मौसम पूर्वानुमान: राजस्थान, मध्य प्रदेश, उत्तर प्रदेश, पंजाब, हरियाणा, दिल्ली में बढ़ेगा लू का प्रकोप

उत्तर भारत में बना पश्चिमी विक्षोभ अब आगे निकल गया है जिसके कारण जम्मू कश्मीर और हिमाचल प्रदेश में अगले 24 घंटे तक मौसम शुष्क रहेगा। हालांकि एक-दो स्थानों पर हल्की वर्षा हो सकती है।

इस बीच एक नया और प्रभावी पश्चिमी विक्षोभ उत्तर भारत में पहुंचने वाला है, जो अभी उत्तरी अफगानिस्तान पर है. इसके प्रभाव से विकसित हुआ चक्रवाती हवाओं का क्षेत्र मध्य पाकिस्तान पर है।

दूसरी ओर मैदानी इलाकों में गर्म और शुष्क उत्तर पश्चिमी हवाएं चल रही हैं। धूल उड़ाती इन हवाओं के साथ तापमान काफी अधिक रहेगा। पंजाब, हरियाणा, दिल्ली, राजस्थान और उत्तर प्रदेश के कई इलाकों में लू का प्रकोप बुधवार को भी देखने को मिलेगा। लेकिन राहत की बात है कि अगले 48 घंटे बाद देश के अधिकांश हिस्सों में प्री-मॉनसून वर्षा इस लू से राहत दिलाएगी।

मध्य भारत में आशंका है कि लू का प्रकोप और बढ़ते हुए राजस्थान, महाराष्ट्र और मध्य प्रदेश के कुछ और भागों में पहुंच सकता है। हालांकि गुजरात में अरब सागर से आर्द्र हवाएँ आएंगी जिससे तापमान सामान्य के आसपास रहेगा।

पूर्वी और पूर्वोत्तर भारत में पश्चिम बंगाल पर एक चक्रवाती हवाओं का क्षेत्र बना हुआ है, साथ ही एक ट्रफ भी बना हुआ है। इन सिस्टमों के कारण हिमालयी पश्चिम बंगाल, सिक्किम और पूर्वोत्तर राज्यों में हल्की से मध्यम बारिश हो सकती है। लेकिन बिहार, झारखंड, गंगीय पश्चिम बंगाल और पूर्वी उत्तर प्रदेश में मौसम सूखा रहेगा।

Click the image below to see the live lightning and thunderstorm across India

दक्षिण भारत में आंध्र प्रदेश से तमिलनाडु तक एक ट्रफ बनी हुई है, जहां एक चक्रवती हवाओं का क्षेत्र आर्द्र हवाओं को खींच रहा है, इसके कारण आंतरिक तमिलनाडु, दक्षिणी आंतरिक कर्नाटक में अच्छी बारिश हो सकती है।
बेंगलुरु और चेन्नई सहित आसपास के शहरों में भी वर्षा के आसार हैं। केरल और आंध्र प्रदेश में हल्की वर्षा की संभावना है।
