New Delhi: Brace yourselves, India! The weather patterns are taking a dynamic turn across the country, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing rain and snowfall warnings for several states. While Delhi basks in sunshine for now, other regions might experience a change in their weather conditions.
Western Disturbance Brings Rain & Snow:
The culprit behind this weather shift is a western disturbance, an atmospheric phenomenon bringing changes in wind patterns and precipitation. This disturbance is expected to impact the Western Himalayan region from March 10th, leading to:
- Rain and snowfall: Get ready for potential rain and snowfall in Ladakh, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh from March 10th to 12th.
- Temperature drop: Prepare for a dip in temperature due to the anticipated rain and hailstorm activity in these regions.
- Icy winds: Bundle up, folks! The chilly winds are back, bringing a reemergence of wintery chills in the plains.
Beyond the Himalayas:
The weather system won’t just affect the mountains. Here’s what other states can expect:
- Uttar Pradesh and Bihar: Brace yourselves for possible rain starting tonight in some areas, along with chances of rain and snowfall in parts of Uttarakhand.
- Jharkhand and West Bengal: These states might also experience sporadic rainfall starting tonight due to the western disturbance.
- Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh: Strong winds are expected to accompany rain in some areas today.
A Look at Specific States:
- Himachal Pradesh: The IMD predicts scattered to widespread rain from March 5th to 7th, along with the possibility of light rain or snowfall in some parts.
- Uttarakhand: Expect very light rain and snowfall in isolated places like Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, Bageshwar, and Pithoragarh today.
- Northeast India: Light to moderate rainfall with snowfall is expected in Arunachal Pradesh over the next six days.
- Odisha: Scattered rainfall is likely from March 5th to 8th.
- Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim: An alert has been issued for rain from March 7th to 9th.
While these are the current predictions, weather patterns can be unpredictable. It’s crucial to stay updated with the latest IMD forecasts and advisories to ensure you’re prepared for the changing weather conditions. Remember to carry necessary rain gear and warm clothing if you reside in the affected areas.
