Meteorologists attribute the unstable conditions to multiple systems.
A trough runs from northeast Madhya Pradesh to Bangladesh across Jharkhand, extending up to 1.5 km above sea level.
A persistent upper air cyclonic circulation over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, and nearby areas at 3.1 Km exists.
Another trough extends from this cyclonic system to the Westcentral Bay of Bengal, also at 3.1 Km.
Citizens are advised to stay alert, avoid open areas during lightning activity, and take necessary precautions as strong winds may damage weak structures and uproot trees.
