In its most recent weather prediction, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Saturday that thunderstorms with lightning, hail, and moderate to heavy rainfall are anticipated for many areas of East and Central India between March 17 and 20.
Furthermore, the Western Himalayan Region is anticipated to be affected by a new Western Disturbance beginning on March 18 and another disturbance beginning on March 20. Over the next week, this disturbance may bring sporadic light rain or snow to a number of places, including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Gilgit-Baltistan-Muzaffarabad, Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh, and Himachal Pradesh.
For the next three days, it is predicted that light to moderate rainfall will be scattered to fairly widespread throughout Jharkhand, Odisha, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, and East Madhya Pradesh. There will also likely be thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds reaching speeds of 30 to 40 kmph. From March 17–20, isolated hailstorms are also predicted in Vidarbha, as well as in East Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, Kerala, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Telangana, and Yanam may all have sporadic light snowfall or rainfall between March 17 and 19.

In Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal, hot and muggy weather is predicted to persist for the next two days.
