Close on the heels of deep depression over Gujarat, another monsoon system is likely to emerge over the Bay of Bengal (BoB). This weather system may not be as strong as the previous depression, but still, the monsoon activity will remain vigorous over many parts. Unlike the previous system, its track may not be a repeat of the same but still good enough to drench eastern, central and northern parts of the country.
A broad cyclonic circulation is marked over east-central, northeast and north BoB, extending up to mid-tropospheric levels. Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the same region, in the next 24 hours. The low pressure will get organized over the subsequent 48 hours and become well-marked, as well. The central region of the low pressure will shift westward, closer to the coastline of Odisha in the northwest BoB. On 31st Aug, the low pressure will move partially over land, along the coastal parts of Odisha and North Coastal Andhra Pradesh and majorly cover northwest BoB.
During the first week of September, this low-pressure area will travel westward affecting Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. Inland movement and track of the system will keep relocating the axis of the monsoon trough. Weather activity will get dragged, on the peripherals of the monsoon trough, on either side covering Gujarat, Konkan, Delhi and Haryana. Model accuracy is generally low beyond 4-5 days around this time of the season. The weather system will be kept under observation for a more authentic update around the end of this week.
