The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday issued a yellow warning for Northwest India due to a western disturbance, soon after the heatwave spell subsided across the country. Senior scientist of IMD, R.K. Jenamani said that there are chances of the heatwave being over in most parts of India, including Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, as per the analysis of IMD. However, there are chances of a heatwave in West Rajasthan and Vidarbha, but the major heatwave spell is over. “The heatwave in Odisha and Bengal was over on 30 April, as we predicted. Strong winds will be there in the next two to three days. We are also giving a yellow warning to Northwest India as there is a Western disturbance. Delhi is likely to experience rain mainly on 3 May. Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab are on yellow alert and strong winds will be there tomorrow and rain may occur,” he said.
Jenamani further said that a western disturbance is very active and the wind pattern can be seen in Delhi, Lucknow, and Jaipur. For the next 6-7 days, east winds will also be very strong and the temperature will not rise. “It is a big relief after such a big spell. A heatwave cannot be formed till 7 May. We will be able to know the exact situation after 7 May after analysing how the temperature goes. But right now the condition is good in May,” he added.
The national weather forecasting agency predicted that the isolated parts of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana-Chandigarh-Delhi, south Uttar Pradesh, Kutch and East Rajasthan will experience a decrease in the temperature from today, whereas Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and West Rajasthan will experience heatwave conditions for another 24 hours. It will subside from May 3, the IMD said on Sunday.
It also predicted thunderstorm activity over Northwest and East India till May 4 and over Northeast India till May 3. Isolated places over Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana-Chandigarh, east Rajasthan and parts of Uttar Pradesh will experience partly cloudy sky with the possibility of thunder development.
