New Delhi:
The Meteorological Department of India (IMD) on Wednesday said that most parts of India are expected to look at normal temperature in May, but sometimes the storm may prevent heat from reaching the last year’s serious level.
IMD Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said that in most parts of Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Gangetic West Bengal, the number of heatwaves is expected to be more than one to four days.
Some areas of Gujarat, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, adjacent to Telangana and North Karnataka are also expected to be seen on the normal heat days.
Generally, except for different parts of the country, south -western peninsular India, experience one to three days of heatwaves in May.
Shri Mohapatra said that most parts of the country are likely to receive normal rainfall from normal rainfall except some areas of north-west, central and north-east India.
Rainfall is expected to be normal in North India, which is more than 109 percent at a long -term average of 64.1 mm.
He said that the possibility of thundering of continuous and intense thunderstorms in May would prevent the temperature from rising to the levels seen in May 2024.
The country recorded 72 heatwave days in April, IMD DG said.
The above normal heatwave days were told in Rajasthan and Gujarat (6 to 11 days), and Eastern Madhya Pradesh and Vidarbha (4 to 6 days) compared to two to three days.
In eastern-central India, Maharashtra, and parts of the Northern Peninsular India, one to three days of heat was recorded slightly below normal two to three days.
