Scattered Rainfall Expected In Eastern India From Today
Scattered rainfall in eastern India through the weekend is likely to offer some relief to people from severe heatwave conditions, the weather office has predicted, but the temperature is expected to hover around 40 degrees Celsius in the northern and central plains.
The meteorological department predicted widespread rainfall in the Northeast and isolated rainfall in West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha over the next three days. It said the maximum temperature is likely to fall by up to 5 degrees Celsius due to the formation of a cyclonic circulation over central Uttar Pradesh and moisture incursion from the Bay of Bengal.
For Delhi, the weather office forecast partly cloudy skies for Saturday with a maximum temperature of around 37 degrees Celsius. Despite its forecast for light rain on Friday, no rain was recorded in the city. In Western India, the Maharashtra government has ordered all schools affiliated with the state board to remain closed in view of the prevailing heatwave conditions. Schools of other boards can take a decision about closure after considering their curriculum and activities, the School Education Department said in an order.
