The Skymet Weather also claims India, barring two pockets of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, will witness a rainy week, and the approaching spell is likely to be a prolonged and extensive one lasting till April 11.
The approaching rains are also likely to drop the mercury across the country, though afternoons would continue to be warm. A Skymet Weather report says major contribution of rains would come from northeast India, which may help reduce the countrywide cumulative rain deficiency.
Several parts of Punjab, Haryana, Northwest Rajasthan, Delhi-NCR and West Uttar Pradesh may see pre-monsoon activities such as thundershowers, thunderstorms, dust storms and even hail storm.
