Cyclone developing in Bay of Bengal; temperatures above 40 to continue in Delhi

May 6, 2013 5:29 PM |

A low pressure area in southwest Bay of Bengal is brewing up and may develop into a depression or deep depression during the next two to threes day. There is a chance that this might lead to a cyclonic storm entering land from the east coast. Whether this turns to a storm or not, it would cause rain in parts along the east coast.

Day temperature in Delhi will continue to remain above 39.5 degrees, which is the average day temperature in May. Dry weather in Delhi would continue during the next few days. Chances of rain in Delhi and over rest of the parts of northwest plains are unlikely during the next two days. Maximum temperatures in almost the entire country would remain above 40 degrees except in extreme south, east and northeast. Rain is expected in these parts during the next two days.

The Western Disturbance will move out of Jammu & Kashmir and rain would reduce here along with Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand during the next two days. These parts will see a rise in day temperatures in the coming two days as cloud cover will disappear. Day temperature in Delhi will also rise along with other parts of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and west Uttar Pradesh as they will have winds coming in from land. Minimum temperature in Delhi will see stability, as winds would blow from north during morning hours.

Central India and east Uttar Pradesh would continue to remain very hot as land winds from west direction are prevailing here. Allahabad recorded 46.5 degrees yesterday, on May 5. Maximum temperature in central India will remain in lower 40s as dry and hot weather is expected to prevail in these parts for the next two days.

Rain is expected at many places in West Bengal and Sikkim and at one or two places in Bihar and Jharkhand in the coming two days. A trough of low pressure runs from east Uttar Pradesh to south Tamil Nadu across Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha and interior Karnataka. The other weather system that is affecting these places is a cyclonic circulation over Assam and Meghalaya. Moist winds in these parts are coming from the Bay of Bengal. Northeast states will have light to moderate rain at many places while one or two places could have heavy rain as well during the period.

Weather over south India is being affected by winds from both the west and east coasts. Northwesterly winds and southeasterly winds are meeting to create a wind discontinuity in adjoining areas of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. This meeting of winds would give rain at one or two places during the next 48 hours.
