As we inch closer to the Southwest Monsoon 2017, pre-Monsoon activities are all set to pick up pace across India. Rains, thundershowers and thunderstorm are likely to lash most parts of the country, barring few regions of West India.
Western parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and parts of West Madhya Pradesh and Madhya Maharashtra would escape all these activities.
According to Skymet Weather, a cyclonic circulation has been prevailing over Punjab and Haryana. Now, a trough is likely to develop from this system up to Bihar, across Indo-Gangetic plains. Another trough will be extending from Bihar till Tamil Nadu across Chhattisgarh, Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and Telangana.
These weather systems are likely to make weather conditions conducive for increasing pre-Monsoon rains and thundershowers over many parts of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana.
Similarly, parts of East and North India such as Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, East Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab will also see some good rain, thundershowers and thunderstorms.
Dust storm also cannot be ruled out over parts Haryana, Delhi and East Rajasthan.
“This will be prolonged rainy spell, which will begin around May 28 will continue for another 3-4 days, at least till May 31. However, rains will not be widespread and mainly short spells are likely which could be intense in nature,” said Mahesh Palawat, VP-Meteorology, Skymet Weather.
Major cities like Kolkata, Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru will start witnessing pre-Monsoon activities by May 28. Meanwhile, Chennai and Mumbai will record light rains and thundershowers from May 29.
These rains will be instrumental in bringing down the mercury, especially over central and northern India.
The increase in pre-Monsoon showers across the India are already hinting towards the arrival of Monsoon 2017, which is not very far away. Skymet Weather has already predicted that Monsoon 2017 is likely to make an onset over the region by May 29, with an error margin of +/- three days.
