The heating of north-west India may finally begin in right earnest from early next week, peaking from Thursday.
Heat waves of varying intensity are expected to stalk north-west India and parts of east and east-central India.
HEAT WAVES
Already, some places in east India have witnessed heat wave conditions over the past couple of days.
The western disturbance currently lying over Jammu and Kashmir is what is delaying the heating of northwest India.
It is expected to sign off by the weekend, allowing core heating to spread from the desert region of the West Asia and across Pakistan.
It will hitch a ride on a high-pressure ‘ridge' emerging from the West Asia, the harbinger of a delayed peak summer into India.
Meanwhile on Friday, a weather-making western disturbance lay parked over Jammu and Kashmir, an India Meteorological Department (IMD) update said.
WESTERLY SYSTEM
An induced upper air cyclonic circulation tracked its parent and lay across central Pakistan and adjoining northwest Rajasthan.
Forecast for the next two days said these systems will together bring rain or thundershowers over Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
They would also let loose dust storms or thunderstorms across the plains of northwest India, the IMD said.
The Andaman Sea continued to witness a cyclonic circulation hovering above, bidding its time to trigger onset of monsoon in the territorial waters.
