Monsoon to cover entire central, east India in two days

The southwest monsoon will make further inroads into central India, east and east central India during the next two days. A trough of low pressure runs from north Rajasthan to Assam. It is expected that the eastern end of this trough will dip in the Bay of Bengal, thus facilitating a continuous moisture flow that would bring the first monsoon shower in these places during the next two days.

Rain will occur at a few places in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, east Rajasthan, Vidarbha and Madhya Maharashtra during the next two days. Rain will also occur at many places in Bihar, West Bengal, Sikkim and at a few places over Jharkhand in east India. Monsoon rains will also continue over northeast states during this period.

The northern limit of monsoon (NLM) is passing through Okha, Ahmedabad, Pachmarhi, Pendra, Ambikapur, Ranchi, Behrampur, Jalpaiguri and Gangtok NLM is the line up to which monsoon activities take place.

Rain will continue along the west coast during the period. The seasonal trough of low pressure runs from Kerala to Gujarat coast along the west coast. Most of the places in Konkan, Goa, coastal Karnataka, and south Gujarat coast will receive moderate rainfall. One or two places could also get heavy to very heavy downpour during the period.
