What does the weather forecast hold for Chandigarh in the coming days? A yellow alert has been issued for thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds on March 29 and 30, signaling a significant change in the weather pattern for the region.
On March 29, Chandigarh recorded a maximum temperature of 32.4 degrees Celsius, which is notably two degrees above normal. The minimum temperature also settled at 18.7 degrees Celsius, reflecting a similar trend of warmth.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted light to moderate rainfall during this period, with winds expected to gust up to 60 kmph during thunderstorms. This weather shift is attributed to a fresh western disturbance moving into the area.

Farmers, too, are feeling the impact of this weather alert. They have been advised to take protective measures for their standing wheat and other rabi crops against the anticipated strong winds and potential hail.
As the weather turns stormy starting from March 29, the community is left to wonder how these conditions will affect daily life and agricultural activities in the region.
With the maximum temperature expected to drop to 29 degrees Celsius on March 29 and further to 28 degrees Celsius on March 30, it marks a notable shift from the recent warmth.
While the forecast provides some clarity, details remain unconfirmed regarding the extent of rainfall and wind damage. Residents are encouraged to stay updated with local weather reports as the situation develops.
