What does the weather forecast hold for Chandigarh on March 29 and 30? A yellow alert has been issued for thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds, indicating potentially severe weather conditions for the region.

On March 29, Chandigarh recorded a maximum temperature of 32.4 degrees Celsius, which is two degrees above normal, while the minimum temperature settled at 18.7 degrees Celsius, also two degrees above normal. This warm weather is expected to shift dramatically as a fresh western disturbance approaches.

Light to moderate rainfall is forecasted for both days, with winds expected to gust up to 60 kmph during thunderstorms. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has advised residents to avoid venturing outdoors during these storms to ensure safety.

Farmers in the area are particularly concerned, as they have been advised to protect standing wheat and other rabi crops from the anticipated strong winds and possible hail. The weather conditions could significantly impact agricultural activities.

The stormy weather is expected to begin on March 29, with the IMD highlighting that the maximum temperature is anticipated to drop to 29 degrees Celsius on that day, followed by a further decrease to 28 degrees Celsius on March 30.

As the situation develops, residents are encouraged to stay informed about the latest weather updates and heed the warnings issued by local authorities. The air quality index (AQI) remains a concern, as it measures how air pollution affects health, particularly during such weather events.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact timing and intensity of the storms, but the community is urged to prepare for the possibility of severe weather.
