Isolated rain likely in Haryana and Delhi on Sunday, dense fog alert for Uttar Pradesh

Panchkula, Nov 15 (UNI) The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts isolated rain over Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi on Sunday, followed by dry weather from Monday. Dense fog is expected at isolated locations in Uttar Pradesh through Tuesday. Additionally, a depression over the Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify into a severe cyclonic storm by November 17.
According to the IMD's All India Weather Summary and Forecast Bulletin issued at 9:02 a.m., isolated rain is expected over Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi on November 15, with dry conditions from November 16 to 21. While the bulletin mentions possible rain in Punjab on November 15, the seven-day rainfall table indicates dry weather in the state throughout the period. Rainfall was recorded in several locations across Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and Punjab between 8:30 a.m. on November 14 and 5:30 a.m. on November 15.
These showers are associated with a western disturbance, characterised by a cyclonic circulation over northern Pakistan at an altitude of approximately 3.1 km above mean sea level. The IMD has not issued any significant weather warnings for Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh, or Delhi for the seven days ending November 21.
Western Uttar Pradesh may experience isolated rain on Sunday, with dry weather expected from Monday onward. Eastern Uttar Pradesh is forecast to remain dry throughout the seven-day period.
The IMD reports that dense fog is very likely at isolated locations in western Uttar Pradesh from November 15 to 17, and in eastern Uttar Pradesh on November 16 and 17. Moderate fog was observed in parts of western Uttar Pradesh on Sunday morning, with shallow fog in areas of eastern Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Bihar. Reduced visibility is expected during morning hours, and motorists are advised to drive with caution.
A separate weather system, a well-marked low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal, has intensified into a depression. As of 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, it was centered approximately 700 km west-southwest of Port Blair, 860 km east-southeast of Chennai, 1,040 km south-southeast of Visakhapatnam, and 1,160 km south-southeast of Gopalpur.
The IMD states that the system is very likely to move north-northwest, becoming a cyclonic storm on November 16 and a severe cyclonic storm over the west-central Bay of Bengal on November 17. Isolated very heavy rain is expected in Odisha on November 19 and 20, and in coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam on November 19. Thunderstorms with squalls of 50-60 kmph, gusting up to 70 kmph, are also likely in both regions on November 19.
The IMD warns that heavy rain and strong winds may uproot small trees, damage standing crops and weak structures, cause waterlogging and localised landslides, and disrupt road, rail, and helicopter services. Fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea in the coming days, and residents in vulnerable areas are urged to stay in safe shelters and avoid standing under trees during lightning.
