New Delhi, Rains are likely to get subdued along the eastern coast during the next 24 to 48 hours but they would continue with the same intensity on the extreme southwest Peninsular coast and over the Lakshadweep Islands during this period. A low pressure area is about to get formed over the south Andaman Sea. Temperatures are expected to fall further over Northern India during the next 24 to 48 hours.

A low pressure area in the south Andaman Sea has started to show its impact as the northeast monsoon rains has dried up along the eastern Peninsular coast. The low pressure area is pulling the moist northeasterly winds towards its center. On one hand this pull is affecting the wind pattern along the east coast for and on the other hand, it is helping the low pressure area to intensify further.

Rain therefore is likely to reduce over coastal Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh during the next 24 to 48 hours. But extreme southwestern Peninsula regions of Kerala and Lakshadweep Islands would be receiving rains at many places. One or two places could even get heavy rain. South and north interior Karnataka, some parts of Goa, south Madhya Maharashtra and Rayalaseema would also receive rain at a few places during the next 24 hours.

The depression in the southeast Arabian Sea has formed as a cyclonic circulation called Murjan. This is expected to reach the Somalia Peninsula where it could be destructive as it could bring heavy rain over the east African Peninsula during the next 24 hours. The system is far from the Indian coast and would not impact much.

The western disturbance over east Jammu & Kashmir has moved away in the east and would have less impact on the weather conditions (rain and snow) over the northwestern hills and plains. The remnants of the Western Disturbance may give showers at one or two places over Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand in the next 24 hours.

The easterly winds are colliding with the northerly winds over Central India. This collision might create thundery conditions at one or two places over Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, with few drops of rain in the next 24 hours.
