IndiGo Airlines has issued a travel advisory for flights to and from Kolkata, India, due to expected thundershowers that could disrupt operations. The airline emphasized the need for passengers to check their flight status and allow for additional travel time, as road traffic may also be impacted by the weather. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted that rainfall across India in May is likely to be above normal, with expectations of over 110% of the long period average. While this increased rainfall may benefit soil moisture and preparations for the kharif crop season, it could also pose risks of waterlogging and fungal infections affecting crop yields. The IMD noted that evolving oceanic conditions, including a transition towards El NiΓ±o, may further influence weather patterns and agricultural outcomes in the coming months.
