Similarly, winds converging along coastal Karnataka and coastal Kerala will produce showers from Thursday afternoon to Friday morning.

Another wind convergence zone is located at southwest Bay of Bengal. Much of the rainfall will be over the open waters, but some coastal areas along Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh may witness wet weather on Friday. The rain event will approach Southern India towards the weekend, and inland areas may also be engulfed in scattered rain. Thunderstorms, too, are possible across the coastal areas.

Low wind speeds and high relative humidity will allow dense fog to form in some pockets over the Punjab plains on the morning of Thursday and Friday. Some of the Gangetic plains may see dense fog on Friday morning.

Under the influence of a feeble western disturbance, isolated rainfall/snowfall with isolated thunderstorms, lightning and hail are very likely over Uttarakhand during the next 24 hours.

Arunachal Pradesh, too, will experience lingering isolated snow due to a feeble but persistent cyclonic circulation until Saturday.

On the other hand, minimum temperatures will be warmer than normal across much of the country during this forecast period, except Deccan Plateau, where the mercury levels will be normal.

The IMD adds that dense to very dense fog is expected in isolated/some pockets over Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and West Uttar Pradesh in the morning hours of Friday, with the intensity and spatial coverage reducing thereafter.
