Clear, dry conditions are set to prevail across India this Sunday. A significant weather shift is expected from Monday as a Western Disturbance nears, bringing rain and snow to the Himalayas.
Clear and dry conditions are expected to prevail across the country on Sunday, February 15, even as a heatwave alert has been sounded for parts of the west coast.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated that while the weather remains stable tomorrow, a significant shift is on the horizon with a fresh Western Disturbance arriving on February 16.
Devendra Tripathi, founder of Mausam Tak and weather vlogger for Kisan Tak, notes that pan-India clear and dry weather is expected tomorrow, stretching from the western Himalayan region to the south peninsular region.
WHAT IS THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR NORTH INDIA?
On February 15, while the north remains dry, dense fog is likely during morning hours in isolated places throughout Himachal Pradesh.
Devendra Tripathi explains that although the weather will be clear, the impact of cold winds will persist in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, and Punjab.
Devendra Tripathi says, “Tomorrow, basically, pan-Indian clear and dry weather is expected.”
He adds that a new Western Disturbance will begin affecting the region from Monday, February 16, bringing rain to the mountains and clouds to the plains.
The IMD reports that this system is likely to trigger isolated rainfall and snowfall over Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit, Baltistan, and Muzaffarabad on February 16 and 17.
Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are expected to follow with similar conditions on February 17 and 18.
WILL TEMPERATURES RISE ACROSS THE COUNTRY?
A gradual change is on the horizon. The IMD expects minimum temperatures in northwest and central India to rise by two to three degrees Celsius over the next three days.
Devendra Tripathi highlights that due to a change in wind direction, temperatures will increase in Gujarat, Maharashtra, West Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan.
In the south, the heat is picking up. The IMD has issued a warning for hot and humid conditions over coastal Karnataka, and Konkan and Goa for February 15 and 16.
Devendra Tripathi warns of a potential heatwave in these coastal regions, including Mumbai and Mangalore, where temperatures may cross 35 to 37 degrees Celsius.
