Weather conditions are expected to remain largely unchanged on April 6, while cloud cover and light rainfall are likely to intensify again on April 7 and 8.

The ongoing weather pattern is attributed to an active western disturbance, a key meteorological system influencing northwest India. The IMD noted that back-to-back disturbances are expected to bring rain, thunderstorms, lightning, and possible hailstorm activity across several northern states, with peak impact anticipated between April 7 and 8.
Meanwhile, orange alerts have been issued in parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab, warning of thunderstorms, gusty winds (40–60 kmph), and moderate rainfall. Authorities have advised residents to remain cautious, avoid taking shelter under trees or weak structures, limit unnecessary travel, and stay updated with local advisories as weather conditions may change rapidly.
