New Delhi, Thursday, September 20, The north northwesterly winds from central Asia have reached and covered the northwest and lowers level of central region. Temperatures are expected to rise over the entire country but the northeast region would continue to experience low temperatures as they would get rain during the next twenty four hours.
The western end of the monsoon trough has been dissolved by the now prevailing north northwesterly winds in the northwest region. The morning and the evening over the entire region would become pleasant. The sky would remain clean and bright sunshine would be witnessed. With the retreat of the southwest monsoon, humidity levels in the air will decrease and dryness would increase.
But the east and northeast parts of the country would continue to receive rain. A trough has formed from Bihar to coastal Andhra Pradesh and is expected to keep bringing rain for the next two to three days over Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. An upper air cyclonic circulation is also persisting over Jharkhand and adjoining areas to garner rain over these regions including Vidarbha during the next twenty four hours.
Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh in the northeast would continue to experience rainfall activities during the next twenty four to forty eight hours as the eastern end of the monsoon trough is still prominent and bringing enough moisture for moderate precipitation. One or two places over these areas can receive heavy to very heavy downpour during the next forty eight hours.
There is a feeble trough formed over north interior Karnataka and adjoining Andhra Pradesh. Rainfall activities are expected over these regions during the next twenty four hours. However, the offshore seasonal trough is now too feeble to bring rain along the West coast. Light rain at isolated places is expected to continue along the coast due to the prevalent moist southwesterly winds. The feeble trough is extending from Maharashtra to north Karnataka coast.
In the southern Peninsula, Tamil Nadu would keep on witnessing dry weather along with rise in temperatures. Rain is now away from the western parts of the country in Gujarat region, Saurashtra and Kutch.
