3-Day Rainfall Accumulation From Saturday-Monday
(TWC Met Team)
A north-to-south-oriented trough running through interior South India will produce heavy rain over parts of South India for the next five days. Helped by southerly wet winds from the Bay of Bengal, the rain will expand into southern Central India and then East India this weekend.
Another trough over Northeast India will produce heavy rain over parts of the region for several days.
Meanwhile, a third trough lying over northern Central India along with the approaching Western Disturbances will produce light to moderate rains across the northern plains, including NCR, for several days starting Sunday, April 30.
Under the influence of the above systems, the following weather conditions are expected across India:
Central India: Scattered/fairly widespread rainfall with thunderstorm/lightning/gusty winds (40-50 kmph) may lash parts of Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha and Chhattisgarh during the next five days. Hailstorm is also very likely at isolated places over West Madhya Pradesh on April 30, and Vidarbha on April 29-30. Heavy rainfall may occur over parts of Vidarbha on April 30.
South India: Scattered/fairly widespread rainfall with thunderstorm/lightning/gusty winds (40-50 kmph) may drench Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karaikal, Kerala and Mahe during this period. Furthermore, heavy rainfall is likely at isolated places over Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal until April 3, North Interior Karnataka on April 29, South Interior Karnataka from April 29- May 1, and Telangana from April 29-30.

Minimum temperatures will be near or slightly above normal across much of India during this period.
