Significant Weather Features ;

• Due to strong southeasterly/easterly wind condition in the lower levels likely during 3rd-6th May over northern plains of India along with fresh moisture incursion from both Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, scattered to fairly widespread rain/thunderstorm accompanied with lightning & gusty winds (speed 30-40 kmph) likely over this region during the period with peak activity on 4th & 5th May when isolated thundersquall likely over the region. Western Himalayan region (Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan, Muzaffarabad, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand) also likely to experience fairly widespread to widespread rain/thundershowers accompanied with isolated hail, lightning & gusty winds (speed 30-40 kmph) during 4th-6th May and significant reductions of thunderstorm and rainfall activity over these regions from 7th May onwards.

• Ongoing intense thunderstorm activity over Northeast India & adjoining Eastern states also likely to continue during next 4-5 days and significant reductions of thunderstorm and rainfall activity over these regions thereafter.

• Yesterday, maximum Temperature of 44-45°C was recorded over some parts of Vidarbha, Marathwada and southwest Madhya Pradesh and further analysis shows Heat wave conditions likely to develop & prevail over these areas during 3-4 days.

• The low-pressure area over south Andaman Sea and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal persists. Associated cyclonic circulation extends upto mid-tropospheric levels. However, its intensification is likely to get further delayed owing to pronounced diurnal variation in convection and a slight increase in vertical wind shear over the region. It is likely to become well marked over southeast Bay of Bengal and neighbourhood around 7th May and concentrate into a depression during subsequent 24 hours over the same region. It is likely to move gradually northwestwards up to 7th May 2020.
