Amidst the scorching heat, there is a sigh of relief for the whole of North and Central India, which seemed on the verge of a heatwave. As per the weather forecasts, the temperature will drop for the next 10 days, and the heat might recede. However, in the last week of April, the heat will again start showcasing its severe form. There is a possibility that all the previous records of temperature may be broken at many places in the country. This estimate has been promulgated by the weather agency Skymet.

As per the weather forecasts, an active Western Disturbance has knocked over Kashmir. Due to its effect, there is a possibility of light rain in Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand on April 13-14. Occasional hailstorms are also possible with heavy rain. After that, another Western Disturbance will come again on 18 April. Its effect will last from north to central India till April 22. Then after April 23, there will be a sharp increase in temperature.

Skymet meteorologist Mahesh Palawat said that in April and May, the winds carrying moisture from the Arabian Sea or Bay of Bengal will bring big relief at least once every week. Due to their effect, there will be sudden clouds in the afternoon during the hot summer and there will be rain with thunder in the evening. Such incidents will happen every week.
