While northwest India will experience heatwave conditions in next 4-5 days, IMD issues warnings for them in east peninsular coast, east India
Heat might have been freaking you out in the national capital, but if the India Meteorological Department is to be believed, there will be no heat wave in northwest India for the next 4-5 days.
However, the heat wave conditions are likely to be over Gangetic West Bengal, Odisha, coastal Andhra Pradesh and Bihar during this period.
Speaking to The New Indian, Soma Sen Roy, a meteorologist at IMD said, “Delhi is not having heatwave conditions. Yesterday, the maximum temperature over Palam and Safdarjung was 38 degrees Celsius.”
“From tomorrow evening and night onward, a fresh western disturbance is likely to come after which the temperature would be decreasing slightly or remaining nearly the same. We are not expecting any heatwave conditions over North India,” the official said.
“Heatwaves have already been realised in 24 South Parganas, Midnapore and in some other districts in West Bengal and in parts of North Odisha. We have given a heatwave warning for the next five days, mainly over the east peninsular coast and east India.”
Heatwave warnings have been issued by IMD for coastal Andhra Pradesh and Gangetic West Bengal for the next five days.
“Bihar started to show a trend of a heatwave, so we are giving a heatwave warning starting tomorrow. Patna is already showing heatwave-like conditions. In Odisha, we are given two days of heatwave warnings. We will watch the situation in Gujarat, where we expect above-normal temperatures in several parts of the state. We are also keeping a close watch on Kerala,” Sen Roy said.
A strong western disturbance has been expected over the Indian region from Saturday onward.
“On April 18, we are expecting heavy rainfall over the western Himalayan region. It is likely that hills will be strongly affected by the western disturbance,” the expert stated.
