CG Weather: The Southwest Monsoon has officially withdrawn from Chhattisgarh. With the end of the rainy season, cloud activity across the state is gradually subsiding. A slight chill is being felt in the capital, Raipur, during the morning hours. However, the Meteorological Department has forecast the possibility of thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds and lightning strikes in one or two places across the state over the next five days.
What will the weather be like in Raipur today?
According to the Meteorological Department, the weather in Raipur is likely to remain mainly clear on October 13. The maximum temperature is expected to be around 33°C, and the minimum around 24°C. Despite bright sunshine during the day, a shift in temperature conditions is expected to bring some relief from the heat compared to recent days.
What will the weather be like over the next 5 days?
Despite the monsoon’s withdrawal, local weather activity may persist in some parts of the state. The Meteorological Department has predicted the possibility of light rain in one or two places today. Additionally, warnings have been issued for thunderstorms, lightning strikes, and strong winds blowing at speeds of 40 to 50 km/h in certain areas.
According to the Meteorological Department, similar weather conditions may continue for the next two days. People are advised to remain cautious during lightning and strong winds.
Waiting for a change in the weather
Weather experts state that for the temperature to drop and a distinct change in weather to occur, one must wait for a decrease in atmospheric humidity and a shift in wind direction to the northeast. Changes in temperature and overall weather patterns are likely to be observed once these conditions develop.
Weather systems currently active in the state
A weather trough currently extends from the northwest Bay of Bengal across northern Odisha and Jharkhand to southwest Bihar. Additionally, a cyclonic circulation in the upper atmosphere is active over Uttar Pradesh and surrounding areas. Under the influence of these weather systems, conditions such as cloud cover, thunderstorms, and light rain are likely to persist in some parts of the state.
