1. Salient Features for week ending on 2 March 2022

Formation and westward movement of a Low Pressure Area across south Andaman Sea had

caused scattered to fairly widespread rainfall/thunderstorms over Andaman & Nicobar Islands

during the second half of the week along with isolated heavy rainfall activity reported for 2 days

during 27 Feb-1 March.

Movement of three WDs across extreme norther India had caused fairly widespread to

dates in the week and over remaining parts of Western Himalayan Region on two to three

days whereas isolated rainfall/snowfall/thunderstorm activity had been reported over these

region on one or two days during the week. Two WDs along with their induced cyclonic

circulations had caused scattered to fairly widespread rainfall/thunderstorms over Punjab and

Haryana, Chandigarh & Delhi one or two days and isolated rainfall/thunderstorm activity over

parts of Madhya Pradesh on two to three days; isolated hailstorm activity also had been

reported over Uttarakhand and over plains of northwest India on one or two days along with.

March, for the country as a whole, the weekly cumulative All India Rainfall departure from its

long period average (LPA) was -23% with weekly cumulative over Peninsular India as -60%,

while all India cumulative rainfall during this year’s Winter Season till 28 Feb, 2022 is above

2. Large scale features

Currently, La Niña conditions are prevailing over the equatorial Pacific region. The La Niña is likely to weaken

during the northern hemisphere spring season and to reach cold ENSO neutral conditions during the second

quarter of 2022. At present, neutral IOD conditions are present over the Indian Ocean and the latest MMCFS

forecast indicates that the neutral IOD conditions are likely to continue during the northern hemisphere spring

and summer seasons. There is also a possibility of negative IOD conditions during the autumn season.

The Madden Julian Jndex (MJO) currently lies in phase 6 with amplitude less than 1. it is likely to continue in

the same phase for the for next 3-4 days, then move to phase 7 and remain there till 1st half of the week 2

and at phase 8 in the 2nd

half of the week 2 with amplitude remaining less than 1.
