Weather Update: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a new weather forecast, indicating a mixed weather pattern across the country. Severe heatwave conditions are expected in Gujarat, Rajasthan and various parts of central and northern India. In contrast, eastern states can look forward to fresh rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, providing a much-needed break from rising temperatures.

Several weather systems are currently affecting conditions in India. A cyclonic circulation over Northeast Assam and another over the Southeast Bay of Bengal, along with a trough extending from Madhya Maharashtra to Tamil Nadu, are bringing in moist winds and creating atmospheric instability.
