The process of withdrawal of monsoon is going on from many parts of the country, but due to cyclonic circulation and seasonal changes, the weather pattern is going to change suddenly today. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an alert of heavy rain, thunder and lightning and strong storm winds in 14 states of North India, Eastern India and Southern Peninsular regions on October 4. According to the Meteorological Department, in some areas the wind speed can reach 50 to 70 kilometers per hour, due to which the temperature can drop by 3 to 4 degrees Celsius.

An upper air cyclonic circulation is active over the south-eastern Arabian Sea off the Kerala coast and over the south-western Bay of Bengal. Along with this, a cyclonic system is also formed in Sikkim and its surrounding areas. Due to the combined effect of these systems, moisture-rich winds are reaching the plains and hilly states of the country, creating favorable conditions for thunderstorms and torrential rains with lightning. In view of the possibility of thunderstorm, the department has given strict advice to fishermen not to go to open fields and to stay away from the beaches.
