According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, rain accompanied by strong winds of 30 to 50 kmph will be experienced in major parts of North India like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana and northwest Uttar Pradesh during the next 48 hours. A Western Disturbance over Jammu & Kashmir and a cyclonic circulation near central Pakistan and west Rajasthan will again bring in southwesterly winds from the Arabian sea to give showers in these parts.
The erstwhile cyclonic circulation over east Rajasthan has moved towards Central India over Madhya Pradesh and is likely to give one or two short spells of rain and thundershowers at Bhind, Bhitarwar, Gwalior, Morena, Sheopur and Shivpuri districts. Here the wind speed will be slightly weaker than the northwest plains. Adjoining areas of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh could also witness similar weather conditions during the next 24 hours.
Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, west Bengal and Jharkhand in East India, Chhattisgarh and Odisha in eastcentral India witnessed intense heat on Tuesday. Day temperatures in Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna and Bhagalpur went beyond 40°C. Temperatures in these places may drop a little due to passing clouds from northwest India.
