MUMBAI – After receiving excess showers for more than a week, the intensity of rainfall over the northeast is likely to decrease from Friday, the India Meteorological Department said. However, the weather bureau said parts of the northeast are likely to receive heavy rainfall on Thursday.  

Meghalaya is likely to receive isolated very heavy rainfall on Thursday, the department said. Under the influence of heavy rainfall, the weather department has issued an orange alert in Assam and Meghalaya for Thursday. An orange alert indicates rainfall of 115.6-204.4 millimetres in 24 hours.

The weather bureau sees multiple weather systems throughout the country--a western disturbance running as a trough, an upper air circulation lying over central Pakistan and adjoining northwest Rajasthan, and another upper air circulation over south Haryana. These weather systems are likely to cause heavy rain over parts of Bihar on Thursday. 

Light to moderate rainfall along with thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds with speed reaching 40-50 kilometre per hour is likely over parts of northwest India on Thursday. Similar weather conditions are also likely over Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Gangetic West Bengal, Odisha, and Jharkhand during the week. 

The weather department also predicted heatwave conditions over west Rajasthan from Sunday till Wednesday. Hot and humid weather is also expected over parts of the southern region during this week. However, a few parts of south India are also likely to receive light or moderate showers during the week. 

A gradual rise in maximum temperatures by 4-6 degrees Celsius is likely over northwest India during the next five days. Similarly, maximum temperatures in central India are also expected to rise by 2-4 degrees Celsius during the next three days. 

The northern limit of the monsoon has been stuck over Mumbai since May 26, while the eastern arm has been stagnant over Sikkim and sub-Himalayan West Bengal since May 29. The southwest monsoon set in over Kerala on May 24, more than a week earlier than usual. After its onset over the state, it rapidly advanced to cover 40% of the entire country in the subsequent 24 hours.  End
