The India Meteorological Department has issued a comprehensive weather update affecting various parts of North and Central India over the next week. A powerful Western Disturbance is currently influencing the region, leading to forecasts of rain, lightning, and even hailstorms in specific pockets. States like Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan are on alert for sudden weather shifts. In Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, strong winds and moderate rainfall are expected to disrupt the current dry spell, potentially lowering temperatures across the board.
In the hilly terrains of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, the IMD predicts a mix of light to moderate rainfall and snowfall between May 2 and May 7. This atmospheric instability is part of a larger pattern affecting the subcontinent, where high-velocity winds and thunderstorms are becoming more frequent. Authorities have advised residents in these areas to stay updated on local warnings, especially during thunder activities, to ensure safety during the volatile weather week.
