The Cyclonic Circulation that was already there in the Northwest Bay of Bengal has now become more organised and a Low-Pressure Area has formed. The low-pressure system is an outcome of the merger of two weather phenomena. One is the remnants of storm Wipha across Vietnam, Burma and another one is the Cyclonic Circulation that had formed in the Bay of Bengal.
According to meteorologists, the system is likely to become more marked and can probably become the first Depression of this season. It will eventually move northwestward and is expected to cover a large area. Hence, it is going to be a stronger system. The countrywide rainfall deficit has narrowed to 7%, and with good rain likely in the wake of the Low-Pressure Area in the Bay of Bengal this week the deficit is expected to drop further.
Today, this system is likely to remain over the sea and will give subdued activities over Northeast India. This system will give moderate to heavy rains over Odisha, West Bengal and parts of Andhra Pradesh. Eventually, this system will give rainfall activity over Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh on one side and Jharkhand and Bihar on the other. This system will have a four-day long journey starting today.
The oscillation of the Monsoon Trough is a possibility due to the Low Pressure Area, resulting in fairly widespread rain activities over the Northwestern plains of the country comprising of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and western parts of Uttar Pradesh. It is likely to cover Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand as well.
Eventually, rains can be expected over Gujarat and Rajasthan as well.
