IMD Predicts Heavy Rainfall Across Northeast India Through May 17

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a forecast predicting widespread moderate to heavy rainfall over Northeast India until May 17, 2023. This weather pattern is influenced by the onset of monsoon systems that are currently affecting various regions of the country.

As reported by the IMD and various news outlets, several states are preparing for significant weather changes, including Odisha, West Bengal, and regions in the Northeast. Kolkata, in particular, is expected to experience a week-long spell of rain, prompting the IMD to issue a yellow alert to ensure public safety and preparedness. This alert signifies considerable weather activity that requires residents to be cautious of potential disruptions.

The broader climatic conditions contributing to this rainfall include the early arrival of the southwest monsoon, coupled with the predicted formation of Cyclone Shakti over the Bay of Bengal after May 23. This cyclone is anticipated to bring heavy rains in areas of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu as well.

Apart from Northeast India, other regions, including Delhi, Maharashtra, and parts of Gujarat, have been cautioned about a mix of heavy rains, thunderstorms, and heat waves. The IMD’s advisory highlights the variability and intensity of weather patterns expected across different parts of India during this period.

Additionally, the IMD has noted the presence of a cyclonic circulation, which could lead to the development of another low-pressure area, further influencing rainfall in Odisha. This complex weather system underscores the need for monitoring and response to rapidly changing weather conditions across the country.

Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay updated with local weather forecasts and heed any warnings issued by authorities to mitigate the impact of these weather conditions.

For detailed weather updates and safety recommendations, residents can refer to the IMD’s official website and other reliable news sources.
