India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast dynamic weather conditions ahead. The monsoon is expected to become active, bringing heavy to very heavy rainfall across South India, with isolated instances of extremely heavy downpours in Konkan and Goa. Meanwhile, scorching heatwave conditions are likely to persist across Northwest India, especially in West Rajasthan, before easing by mid-week. These weather patterns are driven by multiple upper-air cyclonic circulations and troughs spread across the country. Here are the details
