SIGNIFICANT WEATHER FEATURES

♦ Movement of an active Western Disturbance has caused fairly widespread to widespread rainfall/snowfall/thunderstorms (along with isolated heavy rainfall activity reported on one day over Jammu Kashmir & Ladakh) and isolated rainfall/snowfall/thunderstorm activity over remaining parts of Western Himalayan Region during the first half of the week; this system along with its induced cyclonic circulation have caused isolated to scattered rainfall/thunderstorm activity over adjoining plains of Northwest India and northern parts of Central India; isolated hailstorm activity also had been reported from these regions during the passage of the system; Western Himalayan Region continued to get isolated to scattered rainfall/snowfall/thunderstorm activity during the remaining part of the week also due to the movement of two feeble Western Disturbances in quick succession.

♦ Movement of the remnants of the Western disturbances in the form of troughs in lower and middle level westerlies supported by moisture incursion from the Bay of Bengal in the lower levels have caused isolated to scattered rainfall/thunderstorm activity over East and Northeast India and over eastern parts of Central India during the week; isolated hailstorm activity also had been reported along with during the week.

♦ Under the influence of troughs/wind discontinuities in the lower levels, parts of Peninsular India has experienced isolated to scattered rainfall/thunderstorm activity during the week.
