According to IMD scientist Dr. Akhil Srivastava, the western disturbance over northwest India has shifted eastward. The Himalayan states received significant snowfall yesterday. A new western disturbance is expected to arrive on November 15th, bringing snowfall and thunderstorms to higher altitudes. The low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal is expected to intensify into a cyclonic storm by November 16th.
