A trough is also found extending from the Bay of Bengal up to northeast Uttar Pradesh. The cyclonic circulation and this trough will increase rainfall activities in Jharkhand, Bihar, northeast Madhya Pradesh and northeast Uttar Pradesh in the next twenty four hours. Rains are likely to be moderate in intensity.

Along the west coast, the seasonal off shore trough extending from south Gujarat coast to Karnataka coast is weak. Rains with light to moderate intensity will continue along the coast. But no rains are expected over the places below north Karnataka in the next twenty four hours.
