No Heatwave for 5 days, IMD predicts heavy rains across K’taka, Kerala
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that the Andaman and Nicobar Islands will experience heavy to extremely heavy rainfall from May 8 to May 13 due to a cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal. Meanwhile, light to moderate rainfall is expected in Kerala, Mahe, and Karnataka over the next five days, while Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal will witness showers on May 7 and 8.
Isolated places in Kerala and Mahe may experience heavy rainfall during this period, while South Interior Karnataka is likely to see significant rainfall on May 8.
In addition to these developments, the western Himalayan region is expected to witness thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds over the next two days, along with isolated to fairly widespread rainfall and snowfall in certain areas. The IMD has also warned of hailstorms in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand on May 7.
Although maximum temperatures are expected to rise by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius in most parts of the country, the IMD has reassured that no heatwave conditions are likely to prevail over the next five days.
In contrast to the IMD's previous predictions of widespread rainfall across the Karnataka and Kerala belt, only certain pockets of these regions received moderate rainfall over the past few weeks.

TMC will be voted back to power in Bengal: Tejashwi Yadav
Patna (PTI): Leader of Opposition in Bihar assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, on Tuesday exuded confidence that the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC will again be voted to power in West Bengal.
Yadav returned to Patna after a four-day poll campaign in West Bengal.
“The atmosphere there is euphoric and people want to bring Didi (Mamata Banerjee) back to power. I am fully confident that the TMC will win the election,” he told reporters here.
He said that a large number of people from Bihar living in West Bengal share a lot of love and respect for Mamata Banerjee.
Responding to BJP’s allegations that the TMC had “ruined” West Bengal during its tenure, the RJD leader said the “entire country has been ruined under the Narendra Modi-led government”.
“I want to ask one question to Modi ji – you have been prime minister for more than 11 years, tell me one thing you have done for Bengal,” Yadav said.
The first phase of elections to the 294-member West Bengal assembly was held on April 23, while the second phase will take place on April 29. Votes will be counted on May 4.
