The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds across several northern states, including Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Hailstorms are also likely in isolated parts of Jammu and Kashmir and Rajasthan on June 4.
