Showers will also lash Saurashtra and Kutch during this period while after receiving a fair amount of rainfall for the past couple of weeks, central India would receive subdued rainfall during the next twenty four hours. Heavy rain is also expected over Assam and Arunachal Pradesh during the next twenty four to forty eight hours.
Monsoon clouds are hovering over Rajasthan, Saurashtra and Kutch as the low pressure area prevailing over northwest Madhya Pradesh and adjoining areas of east Rajasthan has moved westward a bit and is now persists over east Rajasthan and adjoining areas of west Madhya Pradesh. Owing to this, light to moderate rain is expected over Rajasthan, Saurashtra and Kutch. One or two places over these regions can also receive heavy showers during the next twenty four hours.
The low pressure area receiving moisture from the southwesterly winds would lead to rainfall activity over east Jammu and Kashmir and northwest plains. Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh will receive light showers during the next twenty four hours.
The low pressure area is also being fed by the adjacent western end of the monsoon trough which now runs from Bikaner, Allahabad, Patna, and Bhagalpur to Assam. Monsoon trough is essentially a region of intensified monsoon winds.
Light to moderate rain would take place at many places over east Uttar Pradesh adjoining Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal Sikkim, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh during the next twenty four hours while heavy rain is also expected at one or two places over Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
The moisture laden southwesterly winds are now reaching up to east Uttar Pradesh and adjoining Bihar. They are also picking up moisture from the Bay of Bengal and then moving upward into the foothills of the Himalayas. The presence of the eastern end of the monsoon trough would also increase rainfall activity over these regions during the next twenty four to forty eight hours.
Along the west coast, rain activity is likely to subdue as the offshore trough extending from south Maharashtra coast to Kerala coast is weak. In the southern Peninsula, rains are expected over coastal and interior areas of north Tamil Nadu as the moisture laden southwesterly winds originating in the Arabian Sea are making a trough along the Tamil Nadu coast. Light rainfall activity is likely to continue in the next twenty four hours.
