East and S-E India :: Thundershowers ahead for rest of the week


Global forecasts favour a situation where northwest India, east-central India, the east coast and the southern peninsula staying wet through the week to sign off February.
The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts finds scope for yet another “active” western disturbance around February 26.
In the east and south, residual moisture in east India and accretions fanned by southeasterlies from the Bay of Bengal could feed thunderstorms during this week.

Widespread rainfall has been reported from Orissa while it was fairly widespread over Haryana, east Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh.
It was scattered over Punjab, east Rajasthan, Gangetic West Bengal and Vidarbha.
The fresh “active” western disturbance would affect western Himalayan region from Tuesday onwards and the plains of northwest India mainly from Wednesday to Saturday. A weather warning issued by the IMD said that isolated thunder squalls or hailstorms may occur over Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand and north Andhra Pradesh until Tuesday evening.
