During the first half of March, several parts of the country experienced an early surge in heat. Gujarat, parts of Maharashtra, and Odisha witnessed heat wave conditions. Mumbai also recorded unusual heat waves twice, with temperatures crossing 40�C much earlier than usual. However, weather conditions have now improved across most parts of the country, and temperatures are beginning to stabilize. In the hilly regions of North India, unseasonal snowfall has been observed recently. The mid-altitude areas of Himachal Pradesh were covered with a thick layer of snow, leaving several tourists stranded due to lack of proper arrangements. Similar weather activity is expected to continue in these regions over the next week. The activation of pre-monsoon activities across many parts of the country has significantly controlled the rising heat. No sharp increase in temperatures is expected in any state over the next few days. Instead, a slight drop in daytime temperatures is likely for the next 3 to 4 days, after which temperatures will remain stable. No major adverse weather conditions are expected during the remaining days of March. Northeast India will also continue to experience active weather conditions. Regions such as Lower Assam, Meghalaya, Sikkim, and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal are at risk of intense weather activity over the next 5 to 7 days. The plains of North India, including Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, are likely to witness widespread rain and thunderstorms between March 18 and 20. Meanwhile, parts of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, especially the Vidarbha region, may experience pre-monsoon thunderstorms, bringing relief from the heat. Eastern states such as Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal may see the onset of thunderstorms between March 21 and 22. In the interior parts of South India, weather changes are expected between March 18 and 21 due to pre-monsoon circulation and wind discontinuity. Gujarat will see minimal weather activity, but the state will remain protected from extreme heat over the next week.
