India is bracing for a split weather pattern as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) warns of a heatwave gripping northern and central regions, particularly Rajasthan, where prolonged heat conditions are expected until April 29. Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh will also experience rising temperatures, with forecasts indicating an increase of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius in these areas. The highest temperature recorded recently was 44.5°C in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan. Meanwhile, Delhi is likely to face isolated heatwave conditions, with surface winds reaching speeds of 15-25 kmph. In contrast, northeastern states such as Assam and Meghalaya are preparing for widespread rainfall and thunderstorms from April 25 to 29, with wind speeds potentially reaching 70 kmph. Eastern India, including Bihar and Jharkhand, is expected to experience thunderstorms and the possibility of hailstorms. The western Himalayan region will see rain and snow due to a western disturbance, while southern states will experience a mix of rain and humidity.
