Starting from the evening of April 27, isolated dust storms and light rainfall could begin. Furthermore, widespread dust storms and thunderstorms are likely between April 28 and April 30 across several northern states including Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi. Wind speeds are projected to reach 30–40 kmph on April 28, increasing to 40–50 kmph by April 29.

Officials anticipate a temperature drop of around 3–5 degrees Celsius, with readings expected to dip below the critical mark of 42°C starting April 29. This shift comes as a welcome change for millions enduring the oppressive heat. The IMD described the approaching disturbances as the ‘only ray of hope’ in easing this heatwave.

Thunderstorm activity is likely to persist until at least May 2, bringing not just rain but also localized disruptions due to strong winds and lightning. Dust storms are expected to precede or accompany this rainfall activity, adding to the dramatic weather shift. The current sequence of disturbances is relatively rare during such an intense heat phase.

While many regions will experience relief, parts of eastern Uttar Pradesh may initially see dry weather before the rain-bearing systems arrive. Observers have noted that such back-to-back western disturbances during a heatwave are uncommon, raising interest among meteorologists.

The IMD’s warnings highlight potential hazards associated with strong winds and thunderstorms, urging residents to stay vigilant. As these weather patterns unfold, communities are preparing for both the benefits of cooling rains and the challenges posed by possible severe weather.

As anticipation builds for this significant weather change, officials continue to monitor developments closely. The arrival of these rain-bearing systems could finally bring respite to those battling extreme temperatures across north India.

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.
