    Snowfall, heavy rain likely in several states, courtesy western disturbance
    It has further said that southern parts of the country will witness heavy rain over the next five days starting Wednesday

    India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted widespread rain and snowfall in several parts of India in the coming days. The department has predicted reasonably light to moderate rainfall, and snowfall until this weekend due to western disturbances in north India. It has further said that southern parts of the country will witness heavy rain over the next five days starting Wednesday.

    Why does this story matter?

    • A fresh western disturbance is likely to impact parts of the country's Himalayan region from Friday while the plains may witness it from Saturday.
    • The disturbance, which is the prime source of rainfall and snowfall in the northern parts of the country during the winter season, will add to the below-normal temperature as several parts received snowfall recently.

    'Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, Kerala may receive heavy rainfall'

    The IMD has said that Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan, Muzaffarabad, Uttarakhand, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh are expected to receive scattered, light to moderate rain, and snowfall until this weekend. In southern India, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and Kerala are expected to receive heavy rainfall for the next five days, as per the meteorological department.

    Earlier this month, the department predicted that the rainfall in the southern peninsula during the month of November will most likely remain above the normal range (> 123% of Long Period Average). "Normal to above normal rainfall is likely over most parts of the country except some parts of the south peninsula, northwest, northeast India where below normal rainfall is likely," the IMD said.

    What is western disturbance?

    From November to March, northern parts of India are mostly dependent on the Western disturbances - an extratropical cyclone that originates in the Mediterranean region - for rainfall. According to Skymet, "The tropical cyclones that originate in the Caspian Sea or the Mediterranean Sea move across Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan before arriving in India, where it is filled with moisture."
