Moist southwesterly winds mingled with dry and hot northwesterly winds to produce a cloud cover, which led to fall in day temperatures, bringing relief from the sweltering heat being witnessed in the last ten days in northwest plains.
According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, day temperatures will not show any significant increase for the next two to three days in these parts. Moisture in the atmosphere and gradual rise in temperatures by noon could again lead to convection, which will continue to bring rain in some of the areas till 18th June.
Maximum temperatures also dropped in Bhopal, Gwalior, Guna, Indore and Jabalpur in Central India due to weather activities in adjoining northwest plains. Winds coming from the northwest direction were not as hot and dry as they were early this week. According to the latest weather update, day temperatures will not rise significantly in these places for the next two days.
In East India, east Uttar Pradesh and adjoining areas of Bihar will continue to experience northwesterly winds. Day temperatures that dropped due to some southwesterly component in Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna and Gaya may again rise in the next two days.
However, Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining areas of Bihar and Jharkhand will observe a marginal drop in day temperatures during this period. A cyclonic circulation over Bihar and Jharkhand will fetch southwesterly winds to pull down the temperatures.
