New Delhi : Numerical model products, satellite information, and analysis of weather observations are indicating that a strong western disturbance is approaching and would adversely affect weather over Northwest India including Delhi-NCR during April 15-17, 2019,  with peak activity on April 16.

The western disturbance on approaching Northwest India will draw fresh moisture from Arabian Sea as well as from Bay of Bengal, with both the streams confluence over central India and neighbourhood. The thermodynamic atmospheric conditions would become favourable for development of instability in the atmosphere and occurrence of widespread Thunderstorm activity over the region.

Rainfall activity would occur at most places over Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand mainly on April 16-17, 2019. Light to moderate rainfall/thundershowers would occur at many places over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and West Uttar Pradesh and at a few places over Rajasthan and East Uttar Pradesh.
