After observing one of the hottest and driest spells last week, the northwest plains are heading for some humid days as moisture levels have increased and temperatures are expected to remain in the early forties.
According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, rain and thunderstorms have pulled down the day temperatures which are likely to remain in the same (early 40s) range for the next 2 to 3 days due to winds from the Arabian Sea.
According to Skymet, this weather in North India is expected to prevail as eastern parts of the country are heading for some change in the wind conditions as Monsoon is approaching. In the next two days winds would pre-dominantly become easterly unlike westerly and southwesterly till now. Chances of these winds reaching up to northwest plains would increase with the onset of Monsoon in East India.
So, with the setting in of easterly to southeasterly winds and Monsoon rain, day temperatures are expected to fall in east Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Jharkhand. Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur and Kolkata will observe drop in day temperatures during the next 48 hours.
Meanwhile, in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in Central India, day temperatures would sustain in spite of rain and thunderstorms. According to the latest weather update, moisture incursion is taking place due to southwesterly winds from the Arabian Sea. Rise in temperatures amid increasing moisture levels would result in post noon or evening showers at most places here including Gwalior, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Satna and Raipur in the next two days.
