How can the weather be in Jammu and Kashmir
Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department said on Sunday that the sky is expected to be mainly clear in Jammu and Kashmir during the next 24 hours. An official of the Meteorological Department said, there is a possibility of clear or partly cloudy weather in Jammu and Kashmir during the next 24 hours. The minimum temperature on Sunday was 4.2 in Srinagar, 0.6 in Pahalgam and 2.2 in Gulmarg. The minimum temperature was minus 11.6 in Drass city of Ladakh region and minus 3.6 in Leh. The minimum temperature was 15.8 in Jammu, 15.3 in Katra, 10.5 in Batote, 5.6 in Banihal and 7.5 in Bhaderwah.
The country is gearing up for another long spell of pre-monsoon rain and thundershowers accompanied by thunder, hailstorm and lightning. With this, there is a threat of crop damage to the standing crop in many parts of India. The upcoming spell will be the result of an interaction between several weather systems. According to the climate model, a double cyclonic circulation is likely to form over East Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and adjoining North Andhra Pradesh. A chasm is likely to form between these two systems.
Expert says- Both the systems will become more marked due to moisture feed from Arabian Sea as well as Bay of Bengal on the other side. In addition, an active Western Disturbance is likely to pass through the Western Himalayas during the same time. All these systems together will promote widespread weather activity over central, eastern and southern parts of the country from March 13 to 18.
Chance of hailstorm in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra
While most of the northern plains will avoid dangerous activity, rain with lightning and thundershowers will occur over South Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha and Marathwada, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and North Karnataka. There is also a possibility of hailstorm with strong winds in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra on March 15 and 16. India has already had above average temperatures this winter, with December and February being the warmest since 1901.
