IMD’s Rainfall Prediction for the following regions:
Meanwhile, a Western Disturbance, characterized as a cyclonic circulation is present over south Iran in the middle and upper tropospheric levels, and may induce a cyclonic circulation over West Rajasthan in the lower tropospheric levels today.

As per the latest update by IMD, there is expected to be an increase of about 2°C in maximum temperatures across several parts of Northwest India over the next two days. Meanwhile, an upsurge of 2-3°C in maximum temperatures will likely occur over East India for the next three days, with no major variations expected further. The maximum temperatures over the rest of India are predicted to remain constant.
