In India’s few states, heavy to very heavy rains are expected to fall through the 22nd of August, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). With an orange signal being issued for Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand on specified dates, this thorough forecasting has put many states on high alert.
Region-wise Breakdown
Eastern and Central India
IMD forecasts rainfall to escalate in the Eastern and adjoining Central regions from 18th to 19th August. Odisha is expected to receive heavy rains on the said dates, according to IMD scientist HR Biswas. This is due to the low pressure in the North-West Bay of Bengal, affecting the North Odisha and West Bengal coast.
Western Himalayan Region and Adjoining Plains
The weather department predicts a surge of rainfall in these areas from the 20th of August.
Northeast India
IMD expects isolated heavy rainfall in Assam & Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram & Tripura, and Arunachal Pradesh from 18th to 22nd August.
Northwest India
Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and parts of Uttar Pradesh will likely face isolated heavy rainfall in the upcoming days.
South India
Coastal Andhra Pradesh and Telangana will also experience isolated heavy rainfall on 18th and 19th August.
Current Weather Events
Rain showers have already provided relief to the sultry weather conditions in the national capital. The Regional Weather Forecasting Centre (RWFC), New Delhi, anticipates further rainfall in the Delhi-NCR region.
Meanwhile, in Telangana, heavy rain is predicted in various districts, including Adilabad, Komaram Bheem Asifabad, and Nizamabad on Friday and Saturday.
Himachal Pradesh, after being ravaged by landslides and floods, has been declared a “natural calamity affected area.” This classification emphasizes the severity of the damage caused to human life and property in the region.
Conclusion
The most recent forecast from the IMD advises vigilance and readiness throughout the impacted areas. The public is urged to be informed of the most recent weather warnings and to adopt the appropriate safety measures. The constant influence of the monsoon season on the Indian subcontinent is highlighted by the weather pattern, which is similar of prior years’ monsoons. As India navigates through a season of significant weather changes, the muted rainfall activity that will occur across the remaining sections of the nation over the following four days adds to the complexity of this weather system.
