The monsoon line is passing through Harnai, Satara, Gulbarga, Hyderabad and Nandigama. Moist southeasterly winds would give rain at many places in Kerala, Karanataka and a few places in Andhra Pradesh. Along the west coast rainfall will remain intact and Goa, coastal Maharashtra will have rains during the period.
Monsoon along the west coast remains buoyant in the Arabian Sea compared to east coast and the Bay of Bengal. The eastern part of monsoon line in the Bay of Bengal is falling behind and therefore northeast states are yet to get monsoon showers. They are expected to receive first monsoon showers on Friday. Rain will gradually pick up in the region thereafter.
Pre-monsoon rains would continue to occur in east and east central India during the next two days. The trough of low pressure area now runs from Bihar to Andhra Pradesh. One or two places in Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and north coastal Andhra Pradesh may get rain during the period.
North India has a Western Disturbance over Jammu & Kashmir but that would not bring any relief to the plains of north and northwest India. Northwesterly to westerly winds in north India would keep temperatures high. Temperatures in some parts would remain above average during the coming few days.
Heat wave may resurrect itself in Rajasthan as some of the places would continue to record temperatures above 45 degrees as westerly winds would continue to dominate the weather. Central India close to northwest plains will also witness very hot and dry days.
