India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that isolated thunderstorm, lightning and hailstorm was likely over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam & Meghalaya on December 29 and 30 and over Nagaland on December 30, 2021.
IMD also predicted similar weather for Wednesday over Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and large parts of Uttar Pradesh. It stated that wet spell for several states of northwest India would continue for next two days.
According to IMD, the minimum temperatures are 2-5°C above normal over many parts of Northwest, Central, East, Northeast and north peninsular India.
“Western Disturbance seen as a cyclonic circulation over north Pakistan and neighbourhood at lower tropospheric levels with a trough aloft roughly at middle tropospheric levels, an induced cyclonic circulation that lies over southwest Rajasthan and neighbourhood and a trough that runs from the cyclonic circulation to north Telangana at lower tropospheric levels, and a cyclonic circulation that lies over central parts of Uttar Pradesh at lower tropospheric levels – all together combined brought in the unseasonal rains and hailstorms," the IMD said.
