A north-south trough is also extending from Bihar to Telangana. This will further enhance rains over Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
So far Bihar has received 21% less rains than normal. East Uttar Pradesh has received 10% less rains and West Uttar Pradesh 5% less rains than the normal Monsoon showers. This spell of rainfall is expected to reduce the rainfall deficiencies.
