SUMMARY: WHAT TO EXPECT

✔ Intensifying Cyclonic Storm Ditwah will drive the weather for the next 3 days.
✔ South India (TN, AP, Rayalaseema) faces highest rainfall threat.
✔ Marine conditions will be extremely hazardous.
✔ Gale winds may cause infrastructure damage in coastal belts.
✔ Fog and cold wave patterns will resume in North India after system passes.

👉Arunachal Pradesh — Pleasant & Crisp Skies

In Arunachal Pradesh, expect a generally sunny stretch: clear skies with comfortable daytime warmth around 24 °C, and cooler nights dropping near 12 °C.

The overall vibe is mild and dry — typical for this time of year.

Residents should enjoy stable weather, though cool early mornings and evenings will demand a light jacket.

👉Meghalaya — Sunny With a Touch of Chill

Meghalaya appears set for bright days ahead. Forecasts for the next two days show sunshine dominating, with daytime highs around 21 °C and lows dipping close to 8 °C at night.

For November, rainfall chances are relatively low — about 3 to 8 rainy days expected over the month — making this stretch likely to remain dry.

👉Mizoram — Warm Sunshine, Calm Weather

In Mizoram, particularly around key towns, the forecast indicates plenty of sunshine, with daytime temperatures climbing to as high as 28 °C and night-time lows around 13 °C. This warmer weather suggests pleasant afternoons, ideal for outdoor activities, though mornings and nights could feel cool.

👉Manipur — Clear & Crisp Winter-Prelude Days

For Manipur, skies are expected to remain clear, with sunshine and comfortable warmth — highs of about 24 °C and chilly nights near 7 °C. This pattern suggests a smooth, stable weather period: chilly nights giving way to mild, pleasant days — good for travel or fieldwork.

👉Nagaland — Mild & Mostly Sunny Conditions

Nagaland appears to be under a mild weather spell: daytime temperatures around 21 °C, with nights cooling down to roughly 8 °C.

Skies should mostly remain clear or partly cloudy — no major rain expected.

Overall, the next 24–48 hours across these northeastern states look calm and pleasant — a nice mix of sunshine, comfortable daytime warmth, and chilly but manageable nights. Good time for travel, outdoor plans, or fieldwork. But don’t forget a light jacket for early mornings or late evenings, especially in higher-altitude or cooler areas.

👉East India

Eastern and northeastern India are likely to see relatively stable conditions over the next day or two. For instance, in parts of the northeast, pleasant sunny weather is expected — with mild temperatures and clear skies.

That means for residents in Bengal, Odisha, Assam and nearby areas: expect mild, calm weather — a good time for errands or outdoor plans. Morning and evenings will be comfortable, and significant rainfall or storms aren’t expected in the immediate 48-hour window.

👉West India

Western India — including states like Gujarat and parts of Rajasthan — will experience a mixture of chill and some light rain or cloudiness. In particular, for regions like western Rajasthan a recent “western disturbance” may bring light rainfall or drizzle around November 27–28.

Though daytime temperatures may stay moderate, nights will remain on the colder side. People should prepare for cooler early mornings and possibly damp weather if light rain arrives.

👉North India

Up north — including the plains and foothills — cold conditions are gaining pace. Cities and states around Delhi-NCR, Punjab, Haryana, and adjoining areas can expect chilly mornings and relatively cold nights, with minimum temperatures dipping significantly (around 9–12 °C in many areas).

In the hills and higher-altitude zones, frost-like cold may deepen due to cold-wave effects. Fog and smog are also possible in some pockets during early morning, affecting travel and visibility.

👉South India

The southern region — including coastal zones and peninsular states — is bracing for rainfall and unsettled weather. For example, in Tamil Nadu (including coastal areas), heavy rainfall is likely in the next 48 hours due to a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal.

Cities like Chennai should prepare for possible downpours, and coastal districts might see thunderstorms or heavy showers. The rainfall may ease the deficit many areas are facing — but also cause waterlogging or disrupt travel. Especially if you are along the coast, watch out for strong winds and rough seas.

A Regional Breakdown of East, West, North & South India

As India transitions deeper into the winter season, weather patterns across the country are showing a mix of seasonal chill, haze, and rainfall signals. The next 24 to 72 hours will bring varying conditions across all four major regions—East, West, North, and South. Here is a complete forecast.

🌤️ North India: Hazy Skies & Rising Minimum Temperatures

Northern India continues to experience persistent haze and poor air quality, especially in parts of Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. The early morning and late-night visibility may remain low due to shallow fog formation.

Over the next three days, minimum temperatures are expected to rise gradually by 2–3°C, offering mild relief from the cold mornings. Daytime temperatures will remain comfortable. No significant rainfall is expected, keeping the region mostly dry but polluted.

🌦️ East India: Haze, Cool Mornings & Stable Weather

In East India, including West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha, the weather will stay largely dry and stable over the next 72 hours. Cities like Kolkata may experience hazy sunshine and poor air quality, though not as severe as the northern plains.

Night temperatures may dip slightly, allowing for a mild winter feel, while daytime temperatures will remain in the range of 25–28°C. No major rain systems are likely to affect this region in the coming days.

☀️ West India: Warm Days & Gradual Rise in Night Temperatures

Parts of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, and Rajasthan are expected to see clear to partly cloudy skies. While Mumbai and coastal regions remain warm with humid conditions, interior regions may notice a slight cooling trend at night.

Over the next 24–72 hours, night temperatures may rise by 1–3°C in the northwest part of the region. Overall, the weather will remain stable with no major rainfall activity predicted.

⛈️ South India: Cloudy Skies & Rainfall Alerts in Some Areas

South India is the most weather-active zone currently. Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and coastal Karnataka may witness cloudy skies, with chances of light to moderate rainfall.

A developing system over the Bay of Bengal may cause increased rain activity along the Tamil Nadu and Andhra coasts over the next few days. Interior Karnataka and Kerala will see clearer skies, though isolated showers are possible.

👉Final Outlook

India’s weather for the next 72 hours remains a mix of haze in the North and East, clear warmth in the West, and rain signals in the South, reflecting the seasonal transition across the subcontinent.

🌀 5. METEOROLOGICAL ANALYSIS (Based on 0530 IST – 23 Nov 2025)

The following large-scale weather systems are influencing the country:

🔸 Low Pressure Area Over Strait of Malacca

A Well-Marked Low Pressure Area lies over the Strait of Malacca & adjoining South Andaman Sea.
This system, along with an associated cyclonic circulation extending up to 7.6 km above mean sea level, is expected to:
- Move west-northwestwards.
- Intensify into a Depression over the southeast Bay of Bengal and south Andaman Sea by 24th November.
- Potentially strengthen further into a Cyclonic Storm over the southeast Bay of Bengal within 48 hours.

This system is the primary driver behind heavy rainfall in the southern coastal regions.

🔸 Upper Air Cyclonic Circulations

1. East Bangladesh & Neighbourhood

Cyclonic circulation up to 1.5 km above mean sea level.
Continues to provide moisture inflow into eastern India.

2. Southeast Arabian Sea

Cyclonic circulation extending up to 3.1 km above mean sea level.
Supporting rainfall over Kerala, Lakshadweep, and coastal Karnataka.

3. Comorin Area & Adjoining Indian Equatorial Ocean

Cyclonic circulation up to 1.5 km height.
Enhancing cloud development and rainfall over Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

These combined systems are strengthening moisture convergence and increasing rainfall probabilities across the southern coast and Bay region.

🌦️ 6. Weather Outlook for the Next 3 Days

Widespread Rainfall Expected

Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and the Islands (Lakshadweep & A&N Islands)
Fairly widespread to widespread rainfall activity is likely, with thunderstorms at multiple locations.
