Weather Alert: Rain and Storms Expected Across Several States
New Delhi, November 11: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings for rain, strong winds, and thunderstorms across various regions of the country from November 11 to November 16. The weather is expected to change significantly in the hilly states over the next few days. According to the IMD, light to moderate rain is likely in Jammu and Kashmir between November 14 and 16, with winds reaching speeds of 40-50 km/h. Rain is also expected in Himachal Pradesh until November 16 and in Uttarakhand on November 12-13. Punjab may experience light to moderate rain during this period as well.
In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, heavy rain is anticipated until November 16, with warnings of strong winds of 40-60 km/h until November 14. The IMD has also forecast light rain in West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Sikkim until November 12. Additionally, northeastern states such as Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura may witness rain and thunderstorms until November 12, with specific warnings for lightning in Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura.
The IMD has indicated that a new low-pressure area is likely to form over the Bay of Bengal on November 13, marking the fourth occurrence of such a system in less than a month. This development could lead to widespread rainfall across Tamil Nadu. Meteorologists are closely monitoring this system, as it may intensify into a cyclone, potentially impacting northern Tamil Nadu, including Chennai and surrounding districts.
The IMD predicts that the low-pressure area will move northwest and transform into a clear low-pressure zone within the next 24 hours, with winds in the Andaman Sea and southeastern Bay of Bengal reaching speeds of 40-50 km/h, potentially escalating to 60 km/h. Fishermen have been advised against venturing into the sea during this period due to expected rough sea conditions.
