New Delhi, Friday, July 27 Showers are predicted over rain-deficient east Gujarat in the next twenty-four hours. Heavy rains are expected to lash east Rajasthan, west and north Madhya Pradesh and adjoining areas of Uttar Pradesh as well in the next twenty four hours. Jharkhand, Orissa and adjoining areas of West Bengal will also receive showers during this period. Rain scarcity, prevailing westerlies and weak moist southeasterly winds would increase warmth and humidity over the northwest India.
A cyclonic circulation over north Madhya Pradesh and adjoining areas will garner rain over east Gujarat, east Rajasthan, west and north Madhya Pradesh and adjoining areas of Uttar Pradesh. The rains will be light over east Gujarat but west Madhya Pradesh is likely to get heavy rains in pockets tomorrow onwards. Elsewhere, showers would be moderate.
Starting from Anupgarh in Rajasthan, the monsoon trough is passing through Churu, Gwalior and Satna in Madhya Pradesh, Daltonganj in Jharkhand, Bankura and Kolkata in West Bengal to northeast Bay of Bengal. This will dispense rain over east Madhya Pradesh, north Chhattisgarh adjoining Jharkhand as well as over Gangetic West Bengal. Monsoon trough is essentially a region of intensified moisture laden monsoon winds.
Jharkhand, Orissa and adjoining areas of West Bengal would also receive rain due to the cyclonic circulation stretched over these regions. Moderate showers would take place over these places in the next day or two.
Northwest India, the leading rain-deficient region of the country is unlikely to receive any good showers in the near future. The monsoon trough lies south of Delhi while southeasterly winds are prevailing to its north. But these winds are not carrying enough moisture to give significant rain. So, humidity, temperatures around 35 degree Celsius as well as covered skies would increase uneasiness.
The off shore trough extending from Konkan to Kerala coasts is feeble yet showers of light to moderate intensity would occur along it, including Mumbai during the next twenty four hours. The moisture-laden southwesterly winds originating over the Arabian Sea prevail over this region.
In the south, coastal areas of Tamil Nadu are experiencing warm days as rain continues to be scanty. Isolated light showers in pockets can be expected. West Rajasthan remains dry due to prevalence of westerlies.
