Several states across India are likely to witness heavy rainfall in the five days, with a possibility of hailstorms in several areas as well, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) bulletin said. The weather department has issued a ‘Yellow’ alert across five north Indian states–Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh– predicting fresh spells of rainfall.
The northern parts of India are currently witnessing rains and generally cloudy conditions contrary to soaring high temperatures and heatwaves generally observed during this time of the year. As per IMD, the weather conditions are expected to remain pleasant for the next few days, and the temperatures will start rising after May 14, which may result in heatwave conditions in many places.
