The cyclonic circulation which has emerged in the Arabian Sea off Saurashtra coast is likely to move in a northeast direction to connect with the Western Disturbance over the Western Himalayan region and bring rain over Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and West Bengal in the next couple of days.
According to our meteorologists, the cyclonic circulation is likely to give rain over North, Central and East India in lags, stretching over a period of four days from 14th February. The weather will also reach over northeast region to bring rain on the 17th of February.
Our meteorologists explain that the Western Disturbance this time is reaching as an upper air trough (region of intense moist winds) and will not cause as much snow and rain like the previous weather systems in Jammu & Kashmir. However, it may later on connect with the weather system in Central India to precipitate snow and rain over the eastern parts of the Western Himalayan region i.e. Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Shimla, Manali, Keylong and Kullu in Himachal Pradesh may experience snow during this period while, Dehradun and other areas of Uttarakhand may receive rain.
In Central and East India, the cities that could experience rain during the next 48 hours are Jaipur, Agra, Indore, Bhopal, Lucknow, Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi and Patna. The entire Indo-Gangetic plains may witness rise in night temperatures while, day temperatures will fall during this period. Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and Telangana in Andhra Pradesh could also witness cloudy sky with chances of rain at one or two places during the next 48 hours.
South interior Peninsula may remain untouched by the above weather system and would continue to face summer-like conditions with temperatures settling in the early thirties or above. However, Peninsular India could observe scattered clouds.
