A fresh Western Disturbance that lies over north Pakistan along with its associated cyclonic circulation over central Pakistan and adjoining parts of Punjab, will move eastwards to arrive over Northwest India possibly tomorrow, post noon. According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, these systems will cause rain in northwest plains as well as in the hills during the next 24 to 48 hours. The areas that are expected to receive showers are parts of Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, west Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
Due to rain and clouds, temperatures in northern parts of northwest plains will continue to remain below normal during the next 48 hours. According to this weather update, Jammu, Amritsar, Ludhiana and Chandigarh recorded below normal maximums on Friday and it is expected that the day temperature will not cross the 30 degrees mark in this period. Meanwhile, southern parts, where day temperatures could shoot up beyond above normal on Saturday and Sunday, will get a reprieve as temperatures will fall on Monday due to clouds and rain.
Weather in Central and South India will again be very hot as temperatures will be in latter thirties and early forties over Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. According to the latest weather update, a wind discontinuity extending from Odisha to Karnataka across Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra will bring some clouds and rain but it will not bring the temperatures down as most of the activities would take places post noon.
Rain is likely to continue in east India over sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim in East India and Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya during the next 48 hours. The remnants of a passing Western Disturbance will be working with a trough that extends from northeast region to the Bay of Bengal to perpetuate rainfall in these areas.
