Weather Alert: Storms Expected Across 15 States
New Delhi, November 10: The weather is set to change significantly across India, particularly in the northern regions, following the effects of a western disturbance. The Meteorological Department has issued alerts for rain in several states, including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Jammu and Kashmir, where snowfall is also anticipated in higher altitudes. The plains will experience strong winds, which will contribute to a drop in temperatures.
In addition to the northern states, light rain is expected in West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, and Jharkhand. Heavy rainfall alerts have been issued for Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Kerala. The Meteorological Department warns that winds could reach speeds of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour in the plains.
In Uttar Pradesh, sunny weather is expected during the day, but mornings and evenings will feel chilly, with temperatures ranging from a minimum of 18 degrees to a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius. No rain is forecasted for the region on November 10, although strong winds will lower temperatures.
In the capital, Delhi, pollution levels have surged post-Diwali, but northern winds may help alleviate this issue soon. Residents are already feeling the chill in the mornings, with the minimum temperature potentially dropping to 16 degrees over the next few days, accompanied by light fog and clouds.
In Bihar, no rain is expected on November 10, but fog will persist in the mornings and evenings. Patna may see temperatures ranging from a minimum of 17 degrees to a maximum of 31 degrees Celsius.
The Meteorological Department has also issued a heavy rain alert for coastal areas of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, with the possibility of thunderstorms. The weather in the hilly regions is expected to change rapidly due to the western disturbance, with rain likely in Mandi, Shimla, and Chamba in Himachal Pradesh, and alerts for rain in several districts of Uttarakhand until November 13.
