Upcoming Rainfall in North India Due to Western Disturbance

A fresh Western Disturbance is set to bring a spell of rain to parts of North India, beginning January 16 and extending into the next few days. This weather system is expected to impact multiple regions, resulting in widespread light to isolated moderate rainfall across Delhi, Western Uttar Pradesh, Northern Madhya Pradesh, and parts of Rajasthan.

What to Expect

1. Delhi:
   • Light rain showers are expected, with temperatures likely to remain cool. Cloudy skies will dominate, and the rain will help improve air quality slightly.
2. Western Uttar Pradesh:
   • Regions such as Meerut, Agra, and surrounding areas may experience patchy light rain, with a possibility of isolated moderate spells.
3. Northern Madhya Pradesh:
   • Cities like Gwalior and Chambal region could see isolated showers, contributing to a cooler atmosphere.
4. Rajasthan:
   • Northern and eastern parts of Rajasthan, including Jaipur and Alwar, may receive light rainfall, while other areas are likely to remain dry.

Why This is Happening

A Western Disturbance, originating from the Mediterranean region, has moved towards the Indian subcontinent. This system interacts with the moist winds from the Arabian Sea, causing changes in the weather across North and Central India. The circulation associated with this disturbance leads to cloud formation and subsequent rainfall activity.

Impacts of the Rainfall

• Positive Effects:
  • Improvement in air quality across regions like Delhi and surrounding areas.
  • A slight dip in day temperatures, ensuring cooler and more pleasant weather.
• Challenges:
  • Light rain may disrupt travel plans and increase traffic congestion in urban areas.
  • Farmers should take precautions to protect crops, particularly wheat, which could be sensitive to excess moisture.

Advisory

• Commuters are advised to carry umbrellas or raincoats, as showers may occur intermittently.
• Farmers in affected regions should ensure proper drainage to avoid waterlogging in fields.

This spell of rain is likely to conclude by January 18, as the Western Disturbance moves eastward, leaving behind a clearer sky and cooler weather. Stay tuned to Meteora Weather Service for the latest updates and forecasts tailored to your region.
