Weather forecast (15-21 February)
A fresh active Western Disturbance is likely to affect northwest India from 17 February, according to IMD’s latest forecast.
Light to moderate snowfall/rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and hailstorms may occur over the western Himalayan region during 18-21 February.
Further, IMD predicted light to moderate rainfall with gusty winds (of about 30-50 kmph) over Punjab during 18-20 February; Haryana, West Uttar Pradesh during 19-21 February, and over Rajasthan on 19 February.
However, the “feeble” western disturbance is likely to affect the Himalayan region and adjoining plains between 22-28 February.
