New Delhi, The low pressure area in west-central Bay of Bengal and adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal, off coastal Andhra Pradesh, is likely to make a landfall during the next 24 hours. The Western Disturbance persisting over Jammu & Kashmir is likely to move out of the region during the next 24 hours but another Western Disturbance is expected to follow up the system in the next few days.
The well-marked low pressure area off coastal Andhra Pradesh is expected to make a landfall during the next 24 hours and it is likely to weaken further. Under its influence, heavy rain is expected along the Andhra coast at one or two places. Light to moderate rain would continue at a few places in south Andhra Pradesh and at many places along its coast during the next 48 hours. Rain would decrease after this period.
However, the weakening system would further move towards interiors of southern Peninsula over Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Rain would be witnessed at a few places over Rayalaseema and at one or two places over Tamil Nadu and Kerala during the next 24 hours. Rain would increase over Tamil Nadu and Kerala and more places will experience rain thereafter.
In the north, the Western Disturbance(moist and warm winds originating in the Mediterranean Sea) over Jammu & Kashmir and its neighborhood is moving east-northeastwards and it is expected to exit from the region during the next 24 hours. It will give snowfall at a few places over Jammu & Kashmir and at one or two places overHimachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
The weather over northwest, central and east India became colder and drier after the exit of the Western Disturbance in the past due to resumption of cool and dry northerlies as well as the melting of ice, but that will not take place this time as another Western Disturbance may make an entry again to stop the flow of northerly winds after 48 to 72 hours. The coming Western Disturbance is persisting over north Pakistan as of now.
