Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], June 1 (ANI): Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) scientist Radheshyam Sharma on Sunday stated that a new western disturbance will be active over Rajasthan from June 2 to June 4.
He noted that there is a chance of light to moderate rain, along with moderate thunderstorms, at isolated locations in the Kota, Udaipur, and Bharatpur divisions on Sunday.
“After the next 24 hours, a new western disturbance will be active again over Rajasthan. Its effect will be seen in many parts of the state from June 2 to June 4. Today, light to moderate rain may occur at isolated places in Kota, Udaipur, and Bharatpur divisions, accompanied by moderate thunderstorms,” Sharma said.
He further stated that moderate to severe thunderstorms could impact Bikaner, Jaipur, Ajmer, and parts of Bharatpur on June 2, with rainfall expected to continue for three to four days.
“On June 2 in the evening, there is a possibility of moderate to severe thunderstorms in the Bikaner division, Shekhawati region, Jaipur, Ajmer division, and several parts of Bharatpur division. Moderate to heavy rainfall is also likely for the next three to four days,” he added.
Earlier, on May 30, the IMD forecasted very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall over the Northeastern states through May 31, due to a depression over Bangladesh that was expected to move north-northeastwards and weaken into a well-marked low-pressure area within 12 hours.
The IMD also reported that rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds are expected over northwest India for the next four to five days as a result of the western disturbance.
Heavy rainfall was also predicted over Kerala, coastal Karnataka, and the ghat areas of Tamil Nadu, with isolated extremely heavy showers over Kerala on May 30, which were expected to decrease afterward.
In Northeast India, fairly widespread light to moderate rainfall is likely to continue over the next seven days. Heavy rainfall is also expected over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim from May 30 to June 1. (ANI)
