Meteorologists are anticipating moderate to heavy rainfall to persist across various parts of North India until February 5, driven by the influence of a Western Disturbance. Additionally, isolated regions in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are expected to experience snowfall during this period.
This weather phenomenon, triggered by the Western Disturbance, has led to the formation of a cyclonic circulation over Northwest Rajasthan and neighboring areas, according to experts.
Another Western Disturbance is anticipated to impact Northwest India starting from February 3, further contributing to the prevailing weather conditions.
As a result of this weather pattern, Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit, Baltistan, Muzaffarabad, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand are forecasted to receive light to moderate rain and snowfall on Thursday, with this precipitation expected to continue from February 3 to 5.
In addition to snowfall, isolated regions of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand may encounter heavy rainfall on Thursday.
Moreover, Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and East Rajasthan are expected to witness light to moderate widespread rainfall on Thursday, potentially extending to scattered showers from February 3 to 4.
Furthermore, hailstorms are anticipated in parts of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, West Uttar Pradesh, and West Rajasthan.
Meteorologists have issued warnings regarding strong surface winds, ranging from approximately 30-40 km/h, especially over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and West Uttar Pradesh on Thursday.
Despite intermittent breaks in the weather pattern, sustained light to moderate rain or snowfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning is anticipated across most areas of Northwest India until February 5.
