According to a Skymet Weather report, India, barring two pockets of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, is all set to witness a rainy week ahead, with the approaching spell is likely to be a prolonged and extensive one from April 6-11.
The approaching rains are also likely to drop the mercury across the country, though afternoons would continue to be warm.
The Skymet Weather report says major contribution of rains would come from northeast India, which may help reduce the countrywide cumulative rain deficiency of 48% (as on April 4).
April 6 onwards, 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.
