The low pressure area over Central India has weakened slightly and is presently marked over North Madhya Pradesh and adjoining Rajasthan.
According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, area of influence of the system has been shrinking and is now confined to small pockets only.
At present, the low pressure area is interacting with a feeble cyclonic circulation over Punjab and adjoining areas. Both the systems coupled together are expected to give good Monsoon showers over East Rajasthan, North Madhya Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, eastern parts of Punjab and Haryana and West Uttar Pradesh during the next 24 hours. Few places may record heavy rainfall also.
Thereafter, low pressure area will shift further northwards and will possibly pull the Monsoon trough towards north. At present the trough is running south of its normal position through the centre of this weather system.
Updated on August 13, 12:27 PM (IST): Low pressure area to give heavy rain over Central India
Low pressure area has shifted northwestwards and is presently prevailing over Chhattisgarh and adjoining Madhya Pradesh and Vidarbha region.
According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the system will continue to gradually move in west-northwest direction. In wake of this, moderate to heavy rain will continue over South Chhattisgarh, West Madhya Pradesh and adjoining Rajasthan, Telangana and Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. The weather system has already given fairly widespread moderate to heavy rainfall over Coastal Andhra Pradesh, South Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Vidarbha region.
In span of last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday, Visakhapatnam 101 mm of rain, Nagpur 74 mm, Chandrapur 67 mm, Bramhapuri 60 mm, Jagdalpur 47 mm and Ramagundam 16 mm.
Updated on August 12, 4:27 PM (IST): Low pressure area to give heavy rain over Andhra Pradesh, Odisha
Low pressure area that gained strength in Bay of Bengal has entered land surface on Wednesday afternoon. Presently, the weather system is over North-Coastal Andhra Pradesh and adjoining Odisha.
The system has already started affecting the weather over the coastal areas along the East Coast. In span of six hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday, Visakhapatnam recorded 85 mm of rain and Nizamabad received 115 mm.
According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, the system is likely to cause heavy to very heavy Monsoon showers over Andhra coast, South Odisha and Chhattisgarh during next 24 hours. Thereafter the system will move northwestwards and with this, rain belt will also shift over Telangana, South Chhattisgarh, Southeast Madhya Pradesh and Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. All these areas are expected to get moderate to heavy rain after 24 to 48 hours.
Updated on August 11, 3:27 PM (IST): Low pressure area forms in the Bay of Bengal
Under the influence of the cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal, a low pressure area has formed over westcentral Bay and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal.
The system is likely to become well marked and then move inland across North Andhra and South Odisha. With the system moving inland, rainfall activity will intensify over Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and later over Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Telangana.
Updated on August 10, 12:04 PM (IST): Low pressure area to develop in the Bay of Bengal
The typhoon Soudelor had not been allowing conditions to settle down in the Bay of Bengal. It is the time when several systems originate in the Bay, but this typhoon has kept the sea relatively subdued.
Now the typhoon has weakened and moved inland into the Southeast China. Therefore, conditions are likely to ease out now.
At the moment, there is a cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal off South Odisha and North Andhra Pradesh coast. We can expect the system to take another 48 hours to organize further. Till then the system will only show marginal shift and rainfall will be confined to the sea itself.
Thereafter, the system will strengthen into a low pressure area and move inland. It will bring rainfall mostly in Central parts of India including Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Marathwada, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The system will spend about 2 to 3 days, shifting from the coastal areas up to Maharashtra and adjoining areas. In view of this system, the Monsoon surge will gain strength in Kerala as well.
The most rain deficient pockets at present are Vidarbha, Marathwada, Rayalseema, Telangana and North Interior Karnataka. Rainfall deficiency in these areas stand at: Marathwada 52%, North Interior Karnataka 45%, Rayalseema 35% and Telangana 27%.
These areas will also receive some rain, after coming under the purview of the weather system. It could possibly ease out the rain deficiency in these areas. West Bengal, Jharkhand and Bihar will receive only light rain after 48 to 72 hours. Image credit- www.thehindu.com
