Press: Dated: 19 May, 2022

Subject: Current Weather Status and Extended range Forecast for next two weeks

(19 May-1 June 2022)

1. Salient Features for week ending on 18 May 2022

Movement of a Western Disturbances during 16-18 May had caused fairly widespread to

widespread rainfall/thunderstorm activity over western Himalayan region and isolated light

rainfall/thunderstorm activity over adjoining plains during the period. Heat wave to severe heat wave

spell which was prevailing over West Rajasthan and West Madhya Pradesh from 7th May was

further extended to east Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, East Madhya Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir

Punjab, Haryana and Delhi during 12-15 May. It was abated by 16 May due to above WD.

Under the influence of a north-south trough from Central India to extreme south Peninsula in the

lower tropospheric levels and formation of a cyclonic circulation over Lakshadweep area and

neighbourhood in the lower/mid tropospheric levels and its subsequent movement over to extreme

south peninsula, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall/thunderstorm activity had occurred over

Kerala & Mahe and adjoining areas of Karnataka and over Lakshadweep Islands on four to five

days during the week; these systems had also caused isolated to scattered rainfall activity over

remaining parts of Peninsular India on a few days; under their influence, isolated heavy / very heavy

rainfall activity had occurred over parts of Peninsular India on three to four days and isolated

extremely heavy rainfall had occurred over Kerala & Mahe on a single day during the week.

Convergence of strong southerlies /southwesterlies from Bay of Bengal causing moisture incursion

over the region and an east –west trough in lower tropospheric levels which lay extending from

plains of Northwest India to Northeast India on most of the days had caused fairly widespread to

widespread rainfall/thunderstorm activity over Northeast India and adjoining areas of East India

throughout the week; under their influence, isolated extremely heavy rainfall had been reported over

Assam & Meghalaya on all the days of the week whereas isolated heavy/very heavy rainfall activity

reported from remaining parts of Northeast India and Sub Himalayan West Bengal & Sikkim on

most of the days of the week.

The highest maximum temperature of 49.0oC had been recorded at Banda (East Uttar Pradesh)

on 15th May 2022 and the lowest minimum temperature of 20.2oC had been recorded at Seoni

(East Madhya Pradesh), Shantiniketan (Gangetic West Bengal) and Tiruppattur (Tamil Nadu,

2 | P a g e

Puducherry & Karaikkal) on 13th, 15th and 16th May 2022 respectively over the plains of the

country during the week.

Weekly overall Rainfall distribution during the current week ending on 18 May 2022 Pre-

monsoon Season’s Rainfall Scenario (01 March to 18 May, 2022): During the week ending on 18

May 2022, for the country as a whole, the weekly cumulative All India Rainfall departure from

its long period average (LPA) was +122% with weekly cumulative over northwest India as -

64%, while all India cumulative rainfall during this year’s Pre-monsoon Season’s Rainfall

Scenario (01 March to 18 May, 2022) is below LPA by -5% and over northwest India, it is

above LPA by -77%. Details of the rainfall distribution over the four broad geographical regions

of India are given in Table 1 and Meteorological sub-division-wise rainfall both for week and

season are given in Annex I and II respectively.

2. Large scale features

Currently, La Niña conditions are prevailing over the equatorial Pacific region. The latest Monsoon

Mission Climate Forecasting System (MMCFS) forecast indicates that La Niña conditions are likely to

continue throughout the Month. Other climate models are also indicating enhanced probability for La

Niña conditions likely during summer season. At present, neutral Indian Ocean Dipole(IOD)

conditions are present over the Indian Ocean and the latest MMCFS forecast indicates that the

3 | P a g e

neutral IOD conditions are likely to continue during summer season. As the changes in the sea

surface temperature (SST) conditions over the Pacific and the Indian Oceans are known to influence

the Indian climate, IMD is carefully monitoring the evolution of sea surface conditions over these

Ocean basins.

The Madden Julian Oscillation Index (MJO) currently lies in phase 6 with amplitude more than 1. It

would move eastwards to phase 7 during later part of week 1 and would continue in same phase during

rest part of the forecast period. Hence, MJO will not support any convective activity over the North

Indian Ocean (NIO) including the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and the Arabian Sea (AS) during entire forecast

period.

3. Forecast for next two week

Weather systems & associated Precipitation during Week 1 (19 to 25 May, 2022) and

Week 2 (26 May to 01 June, 2022)

Forecast for week 1 (19 to 25 May, 2022):

Southwest Monsoon:

o The Northern Limit of Southwest Monsoon passes through 5°N/80°E, 8°N/85°E,

12.5°N/90°E and 16.0°N/94.5°E.

o Conditions are favourable for further advance of Southwest Monsoon into some

more parts of South & Central Bay of Bengal and some parts of South Arabian Sea

during next 2 days. Conditions will continue to be favourable for further progress

leading to onset of Southwest Monsoon over Kerala towards end of the week

Weather Forecast

o Due to strong cross equatorial flow from Bay of Bengal to Andaman Sea in lower

tropospheric levels; fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with isolated heavy falls &

thunderstorm/lightning/gusty winds very likely over Andaman & Nicobar Islands during the

week.

o A cyclonic circulation lay over Gulf of Martaban & adjoining Myanmar extened upto middle-

tropospheric levels. Under its influence, a Low Pressure Area has formed over the

same region on the evening of today, the 19th May. It is likely to be more marked and

move northeast-wards towards Myanmar during next 24 hours. Under its influence;

squally weather with wind speed reaching 40-50 kmph gusting to 60 kmph likely over north

Andaman Sea and adjoining eastcentral Bay of Bengal during 1st half of the week.

4 | P a g e

o A Western Disturbance as a cyclonic circulation lies over Afghanistan &

neighbourhood at 3.1 Km above mean sea level. It is very likely to move slowly

eastwards over North Pakistan & neighbourhood by tomorrow, the 20th May, 2022

and then east-northeastwards across western Himalayan region during subsequent

3-4 days. Under its influence:

Fairly widespread to widespread light/moderate rainfall with isolated

thunderstorm/lightning/gusty winds & hailstorm very likely over Jammu-Kashmir, Himachal

Pradesh & Uttarakhand during 1st half of the week.

Isolated to scattered light rainfall with thunderstorm/lightning/gusty winds very likely over

Punjab, Haryana, North Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh during 20th to 24th May with

scattered to fairly widespread light rainfall over the region on 23rd May, 2022.

Duststorm/Thunderstorm at isolated places very likely over Uttar Pradesh on 20th and over

Rajasthan on 21st & 22nd May.

Strong Surface Winds with wind speed reaching 25-35 kmph over Rajasthan on 20th & 21st

and over Punjab, Haryana & Uttar Pradesh on 22nd & 23rd May.

o A cyclonic circulation lies over north interior Tamilnadu & neighbourhood extending

upto middle tropospheric levels. It is likely to move northwards during next 2 days

and become less marked thereafter. A north-south trough runs from central Madhya

Pradesh to interior Tamilnadu in lower tropospheric levels. Under the influence of

these systems:

Fairly widespread to widespread light/moderate rainfall with isolated

thunderstorm/lightning/gusty winds very likely over Kerala-Mahe and Karnataka during

most days of the week. Isolated extremely heavy falls is very likely over Coastal &

South Interior Karnataka today and isolated heavy rainfall on 20th May. Heavy to very

heavy rainfall at isolated places likely over Kerala-Mahe 19th & 20th and isolated heavy

rainfall rest days of the week.

Scattered to fairly widespread light/moderate rainfall with isolated thunderstorm/lightning

very likely over Tamilnadu & Rayalaseema and isolated rainfall/thunderstorm over rest

parts of the Peninsular India during the week. Isolated heavy falls is also very likely over

Tamilnadu & Rayalaseema on today, the 19th May, 2022.

5 | P a g e

o Due to strong southwesterly winds from Bay of Bengal to northeast & adjoining East

India at lower tropospheric levels;

Widespread light/moderate rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy falls very likely

over Arunachal Pradesh on 19th to 21st; over Assam-Meghalaya and Sub-Himalayan West

Bengal & Sikkim during 19th to 22nd May. Isolated extremely heavy falls very likely over

over Bihar, Jharkhand, Gangetic West Bengal and Odisha during most days of the week.

o Light isolated rainfall/thunderstorm is also likely over central parts of the country during 2nd

half of the week.

o No significant weather likely over remaining parts of the country during the week.

Rainfall for week 2 (26 May to 01 June, 2022):

o Decrease in rainfall/thunderstorm activity over northeast India as compared to week

1.

o Due to strong westerly flow from Arabian Sea and trough over south Peninsula India,

light/moderate fairly widespread to widespread rainfall activity likely over southwest

Peninsular India and isolated to scattered rainfall over rest peninsular India. Isolated heavy

rainfall is also likely over Kerala, Coastal & South Interior Karnataka during many

days of the week.

o Overall, rainfall activity is likely to be normal to above normal over south Peninsular

and central India; near normal over east & northeast India and below normal over

northwest India during the week.

Maximum Temperatures for week 1(19 to 25 May, 2022) and week 2(26 May to 01
