According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the weather in North India will be hot and dry this week, while South and Northeast India will be cool and rainy. Here’s a detailed look:
North India – There seems little relief in the offing as the weather in North India is expected to be hot and dry this week. Though, there will be a drop of two to three degrees in the maximum temperature, it will not be of any help. Short spells of dust storms in Delhi and NCR around the 12th/13th of June may bring little or no rain. Maximums will drop to settle in the early forties during the first half of the week due to dust storms. However, it may rise again to settle in the mid or higher forties, towards the end of the week, due to a direct flow of dry and hot northwesterly winds.
East and Northeast India – While East India will continue to sizzle throughout the week, with Uttar Pradesh being the hottest state in this region, Northeast India will observe cool, cloudy and rainy days. Heat wave conditions are likely to sustain in Uttar Pradesh with marginal drop in mercury levels. A monsoon system in the Bay of Bengal on the other hand will feed moisture to Northeast leading to continuous monsoon showers over Assam and Sub Himalayan West Bengal. At the end of the week rainfall activity may reach up to Bihar.
Central India – Not much change is expected in the weather in Central India this week. Mercury will continue to surge above 45⁰C in the hottest region of Vidarbha. Cities such as Nowgaon, Wardha, Nagpur, Chandrapur and Brahmapuri will be very hot. Some good news may come in the form of dust storms and light thundershowers triggered by intense heat. This will mainly be witnessed in isolated pockets of Madhya Pradesh, interior Maharashtra and Telangana, around the 13th of June.
South India – Yet another rainy week is the forecast for South India. Monsoon system in the Arabian Sea will continue to feed strong westerly moisture laden winds to the west coast of peninsular India, which will bring good rain along the Kerala and Karnataka coast in the first half of the week. The rain belt is then likely to shift to the Maharashtra and Saurashtra coast. This rain activity may start to ease out towards the end of the week and the weather in South India will start to become mainly dry.
