Low Pressure Area Likely Over Bay Of Bengal, Active Monsoon Conditions Continue

Yet another low pressure area, 2^nd  one  in the month of September, is likely to form over Bay of Bengal (BoB) shortly.  Like the previous one, this weather system will also have its roots over Myanmar region as a cyclonic circulation before it enters BoB.  This circulation will hang around Sandoway in the Rakhine state of Myanmar and thereafter enter northeast Bay.

There are already signs of a feeble circular winds wallowing around the coastal parts of Myanmar, in the proximity of Northeast BoB.  It is likely to enter BoB tomorrow and become well marked in the subsequent 24 hours.

As it percolates down to surface level, a low pressure area will appear over Northeast and adjoining East Central BoB, possibly on 11^th-12^th September.  This feature will keep rolling over the sea waters for subsequent 48hr, till 14^th Sep, before it ingress inland cutting across state of Odisha and West Bengal.

The low pressure area is expected to track westnorthwest and go over states of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. The flanks of low pressure will also  influence weather conditions across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat. Impact of this low pressure will enhance weather activity between 14^th and 20^th September, more effectively over the central parts of the country in a staggered manner.

Already , the remnant of previous weather system is now lying as a low pressure area over West Madhya Pradesh and East Rajasthan.  This low pressure is nearly going to stagnate over the same region for the next 3 days. Active to vigorous monsoon conditions will prevail over these 2 states for the next 72 hours.

Subsequently, both the weather systems are likely to merge  on 16^th- 17^th September, over Madhya Pradesh. Spell of wet weather conditions will extend till 20^thSeptember covering predominantly, central and eastern parts of the country.
