Here’s our latest weather outlook for India

Wednesday

A cyclonic circulation induced by a Western Disturbance persists over north eastern India. This condition is likely to bring fairly widespread rain and thunderstorms over Sikkim, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. The mountainous regions of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim are likely to get scattered snow or rain. Similarly, scattered rain and thunderstorms is also possible over Assam, West Bengal and Odisha.

The TWC met team expects the monsoon conditions to be favourable over southern Bay of Bengal. This condition will bring fairly widespread rain and thunderstorms over the Andaman and Nicobar islands.

Down south, the convergence of winds from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal will produce weather instability in the region. Kerala will get fairly widespread rain and thunderstorms. Scattered rain and thunderstorms is also possible over Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and north eastern parts of Andhra Pradesh.

Max temperatures of 45°C or more are likely over Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Telangana.

Air quality will be very poor over northern and eastern India and in the major cities; Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.
