North and Northwest India
Rain will remain subdued in northern hills in the Western Himalayan region for the first two days of the week. Rain will increase thereafter in this region as a fresh Western Disturbance will take effect from Wednesday onwards for next two days.
Temperatures in north and northwest India are not expected to pick much in the first three days but will increase as the weekend approaches. Hot weather conditions will prevail during the weekdays but due to strong winds, warmth would not be felt. Weekend will see return of warmth in these regions as temperatures in the plains could rise into latter thirties. Rain is not expected in the plains of northwest India other than on Monday. Sky will be partly cloudy during the weekdays.
East and Northeast India
Eastern parts of the country i.e. southeast Uttar Pradesh, northeast Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand see a chance of rain during the next two to three days. The cyclonic circulation over west Bihar will remain active till Wednesday following which rain will subdue in these parts.
Due to persistent clouding and rain, day temperatures have plummeted in east India. Patna is experiencing day temperatures of about 11 degrees below the mean day temperature, Varanasi day temperatures are astonishingly 15 degrees below the mean maximum temperature. Day temperatures in these parts would increase gradually and will become near normal by the weekend. The cyclonic circulation affecting this region may weaken by then and rain would subdue.
Northeast India continues to have a cyclonic circulation over adjoining areas of Meghalaya, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. For the first three days of the week, this will usher in rain but as the circulation is expected to weaken by mid-week possibly by Thursday, rain will reduce.
Central and south India
A trough of low pressure zone from the above cyclonic circulation in the east runs up to south Tamil Nadu across Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. The weather system is receiving moisture from southeasterly winds from the Bay of Bengal and would be responsible for rain in north coastal Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh till Wednesday. South India will also have rain in Tamil Nadu and Kerala due to this system during the period.
