Weather Challenges Impact on Farmers and Weddings

In the latest weather update, a noticeable absence of significant weather patterns is predicted across most regions of the country, except for South Tamil Nadu and Kerala. As minimum temperatures hover between 6-10°C in key agricultural regions such as Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh-Delhi, North Rajasthan, and parts of Uttar Pradesh, farmers may need to adapt their strategies.

The meteorological landscape reveals the presence of a cyclonic circulation over the Southeast Arabian Sea and adjacent Maldives area, alongside a Western Disturbance forming a trough in the northern regions. While no significant weather disruptions are expected in most of the country, there are specific warnings that demand attention.

Farmers in Kerala and Mahe are urged to prepare for light to moderate rainfall, accompanied by isolated thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds over the next two days. Additionally, a cautionary note is sounded for the wedding season, as isolated heavy rainfall is anticipated in Kerala and South Tamil Nadu on December 11th.

Looking ahead, Sikkim faces a hailstorm threat on the 12th, followed by a similar warning for Arunachal Pradesh on December 13th. Meanwhile, regions like Punjab (12th-13th) and Assam & Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram & Tripura (12th-14th) may experience dense fog during morning hours, impacting visibility and travel plans.

For the farming community, the forecast brings a sense of steadiness, with no significant changes anticipated in minimum temperatures over the next 4-5 days.

In summary, while most parts of the country experience a weather lull, farmers and those involved in wedding preparations should remain vigilant in the face of localized challenges such as potential hailstorms and dense fog.
