The month of spring is beginning on a stormy note for Northern India
The weather has been very dry lately after a nearly winter drought due to the absence of winter rains in the region. There were weaker & less frequent active Western Disturbances which brought some rains but some of them traversed in lower latitudes as compared to their normal track. These lower latitude systems brought active spells over West, Central, and parts of Eastern India while sparing Northern India. The winter produce in the region has not been good! Now, the pattern is expected to get wet and stormy due to the active impulse of NAO coupled with favorable dynamics for the first half of the month of March. A very active Western Disturbance is set to end the dry spell with a bang across many parts of Northern India and it will bring the season’s first rainfall in many places that have been devoid of any rainfall for the past 2-3 months.
