New Delhi, Monday, 23 July, After Vidarbha and Telangana, it is now time for southwest Rajasthan and northeast Maharashtra to receive heavy showers. A low pressure zone is present over southwest Madhya Pradesh and it is being steered by strong moisture-laden southwesterly winds towards north to make rainfall vigorous over these places.

Four southwest districts of Rajasthan - Khargaon, Barwani, Dhar and Jhabua are likely to be affected by heavy showers. In northeast Maharashtra, three districts- Dhule, Nandurbar and Jalgaon are heading for robust rainfall in the next twenty four hours.

The moisture laden southwesterly winds are pushing the monsoon trough (a region of intensified monsoon winds) northwards and it will reach north of Delhi and close to the foothills of Uttarakhand in the next forty eight hours. Heavy to very heavy showers at a few places over Uttarakhand are predicted in the next two days.

Delhi may also get showers due to the closeness to an active monsoon trough tomorrow evening onwards.

Areas of Uttar Pradesh adjoining Madhya Pradesh may also receive showers during the next twenty four to forty eight hours.
