Meanwhile, a western Disturbance with cyclonic circulation is present in the lower troposphere over Haryana and its surroundings. Another western disturbance is seen in the middle tropospheric levels as a trough.

Furthermore, a new Western Disturbance is expected to affect Northwest India beginning the night of May 5. Light to moderate moderately widespread to widespread rainfall or snowfall with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds is forecast throughout Northwest India over the next 24 hours, followed by a major decrease over the next two days.

A new wet spell is expected to begin across the region on May 6, with scattered to fairly widespread rainfall or snowfall projected for the Western Himalayan region and isolated to scattered rain forecast for the plains of Northwest India for the next 2-3 days.

There is a chance of isolated hailstorms in Uttarakhand on May 4th. Thundersqualls, accompanied by winds of up to 50-60 kmph, are also likely to occur in the region. In addition, West India may experience isolated light rain, thunderstorms, and lightning over the next five days. On May 4th, certain areas in Madhya Maharashtra and Marathawada may be hit by hailstorms.

A trough or wind discontinuity also runs from Southwest Madhya Pradesh to South Tamil Nadu, while a cyclonic circulation remains over South Interior Karnataka and the surrounding area. As a result, South India may experience scattered to widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds over the next two days. Heavy rains are expected to pelt isolated areas in coastal Andhra Pradesh on May 3 and 4, as well as South Interior Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu on May 3.

Furthermore, scattered to fairly widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds are possible in Central India over the next 24 hours. IMD preducted a trough stretching over Northeast India earlier this week, which is likely influencing the weather in the region. During the next five days, light to moderate, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds is expected over Northeast India.

Heavy rains are expected in isolated areas of Arunachal Pradesh from May 4-5, as well as in Assam and Meghalaya on May 4 and 5.
