The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued heatwave alerts for several states in North and Central India, including West Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh, with conditions expected to persist until April 23. Maximum temperatures are projected to rise by 2°C to 4°C in Northwest India and 2°C to 3°C in Eastern India. In contrast, the Northeastern states, particularly Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Meghalaya, are forecasted to receive widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds until April 23. This could lead to waterlogging, disrupted transportation, and increased landslide risks in vulnerable hilly areas. The Western Himalayan region, encompassing Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, will also experience varied weather patterns, including rain and snowfall in higher altitudes. The IMD attributes these contrasting weather conditions to multiple systems, including western disturbances and cyclonic circulations.
