While thunderstorms and dust storms, locally known as ‘Andhi’, are common during the pre-monsoon season in North India, this event turned unusually destructive due to a rare combination of extreme weather conditions. In this video, we explain how temperatures above 45°C, moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal, and western disturbances together created severe atmospheric instability that triggered these deadly storms. We also discuss why districts like Prayagraj, Mirzapur, and Bhadohi were among the worst affected, how the IMD forecasted the event, and why predicting exact wind intensity remains a challenge. This topic is highly important for UPSC preparation, especially for Geography, Environment, Disaster Management, and Current Affairs. Watch the full video to understand the science behind one of the deadliest thunderstorm events in Uttar Pradesh in recent years. ************************************************************************* महत्त्वपूर्ण प्लेलिस्ट: 1.
