Updated on November 22, 2015 01:00 PM (IST): System in Arabian Sea to give rain over the West Coast
The low-pressure over south-east Arabian Sea now lies over east-central Arabian Sea. This system will gradually become unimportant in the next 24 to 48 hours.
However, a trough from this system, which extends up to the southern parts of Gujarat will result in scattered rain along the West Coast including Coastal Karnataka, Konkan and Goa along with Coastal Maharashtra for another 24 to 48 hours.
Updated on November 18, 11:00 AM (IST): Fresh weather system developing in the Arabian Sea
A well-marked low pressure area persists over Coastal Andhra Pradesh and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal. A trough from this system is extending up to another cyclonic circulation, which is over the Arabian Sea off the Kerala and South Karnataka coast.
Due to this trough, Coastal Andhra Pradesh will receive moderate to heavy rain for another 48 hours. Also, scattered light to moderate rain will continue over Rayalaseema, interior parts of Tamil Nadu, South Interior Karnataka, and Kerala during the next 2 days.
This cyclonic circulation over south-east Arabian Sea will intensify and will move in a north-west direction, away from the Indian coast. Though the system may induce a low-pressure area, but as it is moving away, its impact over the Indian coast will be minimal.
However, owing to this system Peninsular India will continue to receive light to moderate rain for another 48 hours or so.
