Rainfall Likely Over North India from February 26 Due to Western Disturbance
As February comes to an end, North India is set to experience a spell of rainfall due to an approaching Western Disturbance. This weather system is likely to bring cloudy skies, scattered rainfall, and even snowfall in the higher reaches of the Himalayas.
Western Disturbance and Its Impact
Western Disturbances are extratropical storm systems originating from the Mediterranean region. They travel eastward, affecting the weather in northern and northwestern India. The upcoming Western Disturbance is expected to impact the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh from February 26 onwards.
Expected Weather Conditions
- Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand: Moderate to heavy snowfall is possible in the higher altitudes, while lower regions may receive light to moderate rainfall.
- Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Chandigarh and Uttar Pradesh: Light to moderate rainfall with chances of thunderstorms and gusty winds.
- Rajasthan: Parts of northern Rajasthan may receive light showers, accompanied by a dip in temperature.
Temperature Fluctuations and Fog Possibilities
The moisture incursion from this system may lead to a temporary increase in nighttime temperatures. However, post-rainfall, cold northwesterly winds are expected to bring a drop in temperatures. Fog formation could also be observed in parts of North India post-February 27, especially in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
Impact on Daily Life
- Agriculture: Farmers are advised to take necessary precautions as rain and strong winds could impact standing crops like wheat and mustard.
- Travel: Rainfall may cause slight disruptions in road and rail transport, with reduced visibility due to fog in the following days.
- Health: The changing weather may lead to an increase in seasonal illnesses such as colds and flu.
Conclusion
With the Western Disturbance approaching, North India is likely to witness a shift in weather patterns from February 26 onwards. Residents should stay updated with the latest forecasts and take necessary precautions to minimize any weather-related disruptions.
