New Delhi, Wednesday, 18 July, Northwest India is expected to get some relief from rising temperature as monsoon has been predicted to revive during the weekend. Sowing activity is also likely to pick up as rain in northwest plains and central India is expected to continue for at least a week starting this weekend.
The possibility of formation of a cyclonic circulation over northwest Bay of Bengal will send moisture laden southeasterly winds in to central and northwest India as a harbinger of rain in a region deprived of good rain this year.
The monsoon trough presently lies along the foothills of the Himalayas while the eastern end of trough would dip into head Bay of Bengal in the coming two to three days.
The monsoon trough would dispense rainfall over Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal during this period as it shifts southwards gradually. Bihar, Jharkhand, sub-Himalayan west Bengal, Orissa and northeast states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh would continue to receive rain in the next twenty four hours.
The Tarai region of Uttar Pradesh and adjoining Uttarakhand too is expected to receive rainfall in the next twenty four hours.
Rainfall activity continues along the west coast. Several areas have received abundant rain in the last twenty four hour. Mumbai received 57 mm of rain yesterday and rainfall here is likely to continue during the next twenty four hours.
The off shore trough extending from Konkan to Kerala is robust and responsible for heavy showers in Goa and Karnataka.
Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and interior Karnataka are likely to receive rainfall in south Peninsula. Visakhapatnam, Godavari, Khammam and Warangal districts in Andhra Pradesh, Chennai and adjacent areas and interior parts of Karnataka are expected to acquire light or isolated moderate showers in the next twenty four hours.
Moisture laden southwesterly winds from Arabian Sea and southeasterly winds from Bay of Bengal would sustain light seasonal showers over south Peninsula, central India and east and northeast India.
