Lucknow: Climate changes have begun as we are heading towards summers from lovely winters. But if the climate reports are to be believed the summer is not likely to head India that early. Well, it’s time to take out all our winter clothing’s back again and snug ourselves in our cozy warm beds.

Saturday

Southerly or south-westerly winds from the Anti-cyclonic circulation and northwesterly winds from northern India will converge over eastern India, leading to instability in the region and so, scattered snow or rain and thunderstorms is likely over Arunachal Pradesh.

Similarly, isolated rain and thunderstorms is likely over Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh due to similar weather conditions.

The Andaman and Nicobar islands will also experience isolated rain. Madhya Pradesh will also observe isolated rains.

Air quality will be under the poor to very poor category in major cities across India, especially Delhi.
