Once again, unexpected weather conditions are anticipated in the central regions of the country in the near future. These areas experienced similar events earlier this month as well. During the previous occurrence, unusual weather patterns affected Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, as well as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal. This upcoming spell is expected to be shorter in duration and primarily concentrated in the central states.
An unusual wind discontinuity is forecasted to form over Telangana, Vidarbha, and South Chhattisgarh on the 24th of February. Subsequently, a cyclonic circulation may develop within this phenomenon, accompanied by a trough extending southward across interior Karnataka. Moist winds from an anticyclone over the Bay of Bengal are expected to be the main catalyst for this unexpected weather activity.
The weather activity is projected to be mild and scattered on the 24th and 25th of February. It is likely to commence on the 24th in Telangana, South Chhattisgarh, and neighboring Odisha. By the following day, the 25th of February, it is expected to reach Vidarbha and select areas of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The peak intensity and spread of the weather activity are anticipated on the 26th and 27th of February, with a higher concentration on the 26th covering South and East Madhya Pradesh, North Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand. Some areas may experience lightning, gusty winds, and possibly hailstorms on the 26th of February. By the 27th of February, this mild weather activity will extend to parts of Southeast Uttar Pradesh and West Bihar.
