The Low-Pressure area over northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining north Odisha and West Bengal coasts along with the associated cyclonic circulation extending up to 7.6 km above mean sea level tilting southwestwards with height persists.

The Axis of Monsoon Trough at mean sea level now passes through Bikaner, Jaipur, Tikamgarh, Pendra Road, Jharsuguda and thence east southeastwards to centre of Low-Pressure Area over Northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining north Odisha and West Bengal coasts. The East­West shear zone now runs roughly along Latitude. 21°N between 3.1 and 7.6 km above mean sea level tilting southwards with height.

In wake of these systems, widespread rains with some heavy to very heavy falls are likely over Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, West Coast, Gujarat, and Odisha. Central India is already rain surplus by nearly 13%.

These rains are keeping the Monsoon active and the situation is likely to persist for good three to four days. As per our experts, these rains may even extend to East Rajasthan and Gujarat.

Places like Gondia, Nagpur, Akola, Amravati, Nanded and Ahmednagar along with Khammam, Bhadrachalam and Ramagundam are very likely to see moderate rain and thundershowers with heavy spells at few places.

While Delhi-NCR is expected to witness patchy rains during this time period.
