NEW DELHI: Heavy rain lashes part of Mumbai on Saturday morning, offering much-needed respite from humid weather. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a partly cloudy sky and intermittent showers throughout the day, with light to moderate rain expected in various parts of the city. This follows several days of pre-monsoon showers in the region.
Weather disturbances are expected to persist in other parts of the country as well. The IMD has issued a five-day outlook for continued rainfall and thunderstorm activity across multiple regions.
Speaking to ANI agency on Friday, IMD scientist Akhil Srivastava said, “Southern India, especially the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka, will experience persistent rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds for the next five days.”
He also stated that similar weather patterns are likely across Central India, while the Northeastern states will continue to receive rain over the next few days. “The Northeastern parts of the country will also continue to receive rainfall for the next five days,” Srivastava added.
Northwestern India may witness thunderstorms in the coming days, although heatwave conditions are expected to prevail. In Eastern India, particularly in Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh, the weather is predicted to remain hot and humid.
The national capital, however, could see some temporary relief from the heat. Srivastava noted, “We expect thunderstorm activity to develop over Delhi in the evening today and tomorrow. Light rainfall is expected, and due to this, the temperature might fall to around 37 to 39 degrees Celsius.”
These developments come amid rising concerns about increasing temperatures across northern states. In Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, the heat has resulted in a growing number of hospitalisations, particularly among children.
Senior Consultant Medical, V Singh, said, “Summers have started, and at this time, children suffer from typhoid, fever, loose motion, and cold and cough.” He advised against eating food from outside sources.
“Since the outside food is adulterated, our suggestion is to avoid it because some people mix such things that are not good for health... Around 200 patients are coming in and 25–30 children are being admitted” he further added.
