Along the region of confluence of winds from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal over North interior Karnataka and south Maharashtra, thunderstorm activity is likely to be intense and accompanied by hail storms at isolated places. As the north-south wind discontinuity strengthens over the next five days, thunderstorm activity is likely to intensify over central, east and northeast India during April 29 to May 1 and will be accompanied by gusty winds at isolated places.
