Weather Today April 29: Check IMD Alert
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms and rainfall and squally winds about the upcoming weather conditions. The IMD explained that a western disturbance affected weather conditions across northwest India. A cyclonic circulation which stretches through central Pakistan and northwest Rajasthan and Punjab and Haryana territories is responsible for creating current weather patterns. The northeastward moving circulation will cause additional rainfall and thunderstorms and dust storms which typically occur during the pre-monsoon period.
