High winds, lightning, heavy rain, hail alert for N India


On a day the India Met Department (IMD) came out with its long-range forecast for the monsoon, an alert has been sounded about an ‘active’ western disturbance moving in along the international border to North-West India.
Western disturbances are classified as ‘active’ or ‘intense’ depending on their capacity to set up thunderstorms, hailstorms, high winds and heavy rain.
The arrival of such a system into North-West and adjoining Central India after a break comes at a time when they are least needed and fervently wished away by farmers preparing the farms for harvest.

Induced cyclonic whirl

The active western disturbance lay over East Iran and neighbourhood on Monday and would move east-northeastwards across Afghanistan, Pakistan and North-West India from Monday to Wednesday.
Under its influence, an induced cyclonic circulation has developed over South-West Rajasthan and neighbourhood on Monday, which would be the principal creator of weather for now.
The circulation will pump in moisture from both the Arabian Sea as well as from the Bay of Bengal, which indicates its size and reach, with both the streams meeting over Central India from Tuesday to Thursday.
Under the influence of above weather systems, light scattered rain/thundershower would occur over Jammu & Kashmir and isolated over Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand on Monday.
