Scattered to fairly widespread light/moderate rainfall is very likely over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura over the next five days due to an east-west trough from northwest Madhya Pradesh to Meghalaya and southwesterly winds from the Bay of Bengal in lower tropospheric levels, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
During the next five days, isolated to scattered light/moderate rainfall is highly possible over Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Sikkim, and Odisha, with isolated thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds (speeds reaching 40-50 kmph) over the region, it added.
During the next five days, scattered to fairly widespread light/moderate rainfall with thunderstorm/lightning/gusty winds is very likely over Kerala, Mahe, south interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal, as well as isolated rainfall activity over coastal and north interior Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana, due to a trough/wind discontinuity over peninsular India in lower tropospheric levels.
Severe rainfall at isolated locations is very likely over Nicobar Islands, and heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated locations is extremely likely across Andaman and Nicobar Islands between May 6 and 8. Squally weather with wind speeds reaching 40-50 kmph, gusting to 60 kmph, very likely to prevail over the Andaman Sea to squally weather with wind speeds reaching 55-65 kmph gusting to 75 kmph likely to prevail over central and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal on May 8.
