SIGNIFICANTWEATHERFEATURES

♦ Movement of a Western disturbance and its induced cyclonic circulation had caused isolated to scattered rainfall/snowfall/thunderstorm activity over Western Himalayan Region, isolated to scattered rainfall/thunderstorm activity over adjacent areas of Northwest India and isolated rainfall/thunderstorm activity over parts of East Madhya Pradesh in the beginning of the week; remnants of this system had caused scattered to fairly widespread rainfall/snowfall activity over Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim and isolated to scattered rainfall/thunderstorm activity over remaining parts of East and Northeast India during the first half of the week; passage of another Western Disturbance had caused isolated rainfall /snowfall activity over Western Himalayan Region towards the end of the week.

♦ Under the influence of a trough in low level easterlies over Andaman Sea which subsequently lay as a cyclonic circulation in the lower/middle tropospheric levels over Equatorial Indian Ocean and adjoining areas of Southeast Bay of Bengal & south Andaman Sea, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall/thunderstorms had occurred over Andaman & Nicobar Islands towards the end of the week.

Subject: Current Weather Status and Extended range Forecast for next two weeks (17 Feb- 2 March 2022)

1. Salient Features for week ending on16 Feb 2022

 No major weather system affected the country and rainfall was sub-dued during the week over most of the country including over northwest India due to absence of any active WD affecting the region. However, under the influence of a trough in low level easterlies over Andaman Sea, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall/thunderstorms had occurred over Andaman & Nicobar Islands towards the end of the week. Remnants of Western Disturbances have caused scattered to fairly widespread rainfall/snowfall activity over Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim and isolated to scattered rainfall/thunderstorm activity over remaining parts of East and Northeast India during the first half of the week.


