Thunderstorms, Rain, Hailstorms in Northwest India, Two-Day Alert Issued

The scorching summer heat is set to pave the way for an intense rain activity. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of a strong spell of thunderstorms, rain and hailstorm over northwestern states and issued an orange alert for the next two days.

An active western disturbance is likely to move across the northern region from May 23-26. The stormy system is likely to get powered by moisture from the Arabian Sea, as well as Bay of Bengal, which may enhance the rain activity even further. It is also expected to bring down the day temperatures by four-six degrees over northwest India during the next three days, as per IMD.

SUDDEN WEATHER CHANGE?

Scientists explain that such stormy systems are common during the pre-monsoon period, and they mostly impact the northwest India as well as northeastern states, especially amid heatwaves over the region. However, this time, there is likely to be a strong interaction with winds from the adjoining seas.
