Showers Set to Soak the City Light to moderate rain is expected in Chandigarh starting Wednesday, with the intensity and spread of the rainfall likely to increase on Thursday and Friday, according to the Meteorological Department’s forecast. The weather alert indicates that the wet spell may be accompanied by thunderstorms or lightning, along with gusty winds reaching 30–40 kmph at isolated locations on Thursday and Friday. The maximum temperature in Chandigarh dropped to 29°C on Monday, which is within the normal range for the day, while the minimum temperature was 12.1°C, three degrees below the usual average. No significant change is anticipated in the minimum temperature over the next few days, but the maximum is expected to decline further, potentially falling to around 23°C over the next four to five days. The city has experienced unusually cool conditions for March over the past two to three days. After beginning the month with temperatures eight degrees above normal, Chandigarh is now facing normal to below-normal levels, providing some relief to residents. This shift marks a notable departure from the earlier warmth, highlighting the variability in weather patterns during the season. The Met department’s forecast underscores the potential for disruptive weather, with thunderstorms and strong winds posing challenges for outdoor activities. Residents are advised to stay updated with the latest weather advisories and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during the unsettled weather. The combination of rain and lightning may also impact transportation and daily routines, requiring careful planning. The unusual cooling trend in March has sparked discussions about the broader implications of changing weather patterns.#thunderstorms #meteorological_department #chandigarh #weather_alert #rainfall
