Rainfall activities are expected to increase along the East coast as the cyclonic circulation may develop into a low pressure area over the northwest and the adjoining westcentral Bay of Bengal during the next twenty four hours. The coastal areas of Orissa, coastal and north Andhra would reap benefits from this low pressure area. Moderate showers with heavy at a few places are expected during the next twenty four hours.
The low pressure area would then enter into inland where it is expected to increase rainfall activities over the rest parts of Orissa, south Chhattisgarh, Vidarbha, southeast Madhya Pradesh and subsequently up to west Madhya Pradesh during the next twenty four to forty eight hours. Light to moderate rain with isolated heavy is expected over these regions.
The Northwest region in Jammu & Kashmir, some parts of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand would receive rain during the next twenty four hours. Rains are heading in these areas as the western end of the monsoon trough is interacting with a passing Western Disturbance over Jammu & Kashmir. Light rainfall activities are expected over the region.
Showers activities would also increase over the east and northeastern states when the low pressure area would enter the land and the eastern end of the monsoon trough would move upward. Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh can expect increased rainfall activities after the next twenty four hours. Monsoon trough is essentially a region of intensified monsoon winds. The trough is passing through Bikaner, Ajmer, Guna, Sagar, Pendra, Jharsuguda, Bhubaneshwar and thence southeastwards to the eastcentral Bay of Bengal.
Delhi and the areas of Uttar Pradesh close to Nepal border would also receive rain as the southeasterly winds are becoming anti-clockwise and holding up the moisture to disburse rain in these areas. Rain would be light.
Saurashtra in Gujarat would also experience moderate rainfall with heavy at a few places during the next twenty four hours as a cyclonic circulation persists over the Arabian Sea and adjoining areas of Gujarat.
The West coast is likely to maintain showers as the offshore seasonal trough is active and the moisture laden southwesterly winds are strong. The areas north of Mumbai would receive heavy falls during the next twenty four hours. Konkan, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala would also continue with rain during the next twenty four to forty eight hours. The rains would be heavy in a few places where the westerly winds are turning into southwesterly winds.
The areas of Tamil Nadu along the east coast would also experience increase showers as a trough is persisting over the south Tamil Nadu coast. Rain would be scattered over west Rajasthan during the twenty four hours.
