Altocumulus clouds, which are mid-level clouds composed of water droplets, can often indicate an approaching storm system or frontal boundary. In this case, the presence of these clouds has been interpreted by meteorologists as a sign of potential thunderstorm activity in the region.

However, the IMD has clarified that the thunderstorms are likely to be scattered in nature, and widespread rainfall is not expected during this spell.

The weather department attributed the upcoming thunderstorm activity to a combination of factors, including a trough of low pressure over the region and the presence of a moist easterly wind flow.
