Cooler-than-usual temperatures will likely stick around until April 6.
Dr. Pradeep warns Kashmir Punjab Rajasthan
According to climate expert Dr. Pradeep, places like Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Punjab, and Rajasthan should prepare for heavy downpours and storms.
Northern Gujarat could also feel the impact, while Haryana, Delhi NCR, and West Uttar Pradesh might see scattered thunderstorms.
As this system moves eastward, states like Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Odisha, and West Bengal could get more active weather too.
U-shaped jets linked to Arctic warming
This disturbance is stronger than usual because of U-shaped jet streams linked to Arctic warming.
Thanks to these conditions, summer might show up a bit later this year—probably after mid-April.
