An India Meteorological Department (IMD) bulletin on Monday, June 22, has drawn attention to the sharply divided weather pattern. Amber Alert for extreme rainfall in the Northeast, Dust Storm Alert in Rajasthan and Heat Wave Alert in parts of North India is expected. While Meghalaya and Assam are still recording record-breaking rainfall, central and north areas are under severe heat stress.
Why Northeast Is Seeing Extremely Heavy Rain?
The IMD forecasted that very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall can be expected in Assam and Meghalaya due to the moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal and the strong cyclonic circulations over the region. Mawsynram and Cherrapunji have already recorded over 50 cm rainfall in 24 hours making flood risk higher.
Why Dust Storm Alert Is In Rajasthan?
The western Rajasthan is in a dust storm warning for strongest winds of 40-60 kph. Hot surface temperature and strong wind activity will trigger dust storms that are expected to be short but intense in districts like Jodhpur, Bikaner and Jaisalmer.
Will Heatwave Continue in Uttar Pradesh?
Yes. Eastern Uttar Pradesh is likely to remain under persistent heatwave conditions till June 24with dry weather dominating most districts. Some relief in the form of thunderstorms may arrive later in the week.
The southwest monsoon is expected to advance further into Maharashtra, Telangana, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Bihar around June 23bringing gradual relief. The west coast, including Konkan and Goa, is also likely to see increased rainfall activity.
