The weather in India has once again taken a turn, and the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of a drastic change in the weather across the country in the coming days.
The winter season has already arrived and with it, dense fog can be seen in North India, thunderstorms and rain in South India and the northeastern states. Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has issued a fresh alert for the country from November 23 to November 28, indicating heavy rain, storms and snowfall.
Threat of cyclonic storm
The Meteorological Department has forecast the formation of a cyclonic storm in the coming days. Currently, a cyclonic circulation is active in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean and the adjoining South Andaman region, which has spread to the middle troposphere of the ocean. Due to the effect of this circulation, a low pressure area is likely to form. The Meteorological Department says that this storm can move towards the South Bay of Bengal moving in the west-northwest direction.
The Meteorological Department said that in the next 2-3 days, stormy winds and heavy rains may occur in South Bay of Bengal, Gulf of Mannar, Andaman Sea and coastal areas. Due to the effect of this cyclonic storm, fishermen have been advised not to go to sea, especially in areas around Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Andaman-Nicobar Islands. The speed of winds can be from 35 to 55 kilometers per hour, which can pose a risk to sea travel.
Alert of rain and storm winds in these states
According to the Meteorological Department, due to the effect of cyclonic storm, heavy rains may occur in many states of South India and Northeast India. According to the weather alert issued for November 23 to 28, thunderstorms and lightning may occur in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Puducherry, Andaman-Nicobar Islands, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and some other areas.
Heavy rain is also expected in some places, and the Meteorological Department has appealed to the citizens of these areas to remain alert. Along with this, stormy winds are expected in the southern states, whose speed can be up to 35-45 kilometers per hour. The Meteorological Department has advised fishermen to stay away from the sea, and normal life may be affected in these areas.
Cold and fog will increase in North India
The weather will remain dry in North India this week, but fog conditions and cold are likely to increase. Dense fog is likely to cover the areas of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh till November 30 in the morning and evening. Fog may also increase in other cities including Delhi-NCR in the morning, which may affect visibility. However, there may be some relief due to sunshine during the day, but the effect of cold will remain due to falling temperature. The feeling of cold may increase further due to increasing fog in Delhi too. According to the Meteorological Department, cold will increase in North India in the next few days and the effect of cold wave can be felt.
Effect of snowfall in Kashmir and Himachal
Snowfall has started in the hilly areas of Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, which may lead to a sharp increase in cold. Temperatures have dropped below zero in Jammu and Kashmir this week, and Srinagar recorded a temperature drop to 0.4 degrees Celsius on Friday. Light snowfall and rain may occur in the high altitude areas of Jammu and Kashmir, and the cold is likely to increase further in the coming days. People will need to be more cautious as the effect of cold wave increases in Kashmir. Due to snowfall in the hilly areas, there may be problems in traveling on the road due to cold and snowfall.
Cold and cold wave in India
The effect of cold wave is likely to increase due to snowfall and cold in North India and hilly areas. Snowfall in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand may increase the cold further. Also, temperatures may fall further due to snowfall in Kashmir Valley, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and other high altitude areas in Jammu and Kashmir. During this, the effect of cold will also be more in the plains due to cold winds.
The Indian Meteorological Department says that major changes are being seen in the weather at this time and the effect of storms, heavy rains, snowfall and cold is going to increase in various areas across the country.
