Country has witnessed a very active phase of the Southwest Monsoon, which has also been very productive one. Not only the rainfall deficiency of 11% in June was recovered, but the countrywide seasonal rainfall is now excess by 4%.
As expected, July has performed extremely well so far. July is the rainiest month of the season which on an average records 289 mm of rain. With still two more days to go for reaching half of the month, country has also already recorded 145 mm of rain and is excess by 24%.
Now as we proceed further, it is quite normal for Monsoon to go mild after witnessing such active to vigorous Monsoon conditions. According to Skymet Weather, the waxing and waning of the Monsoon season is a regular feature.
The decrease in the rain activity is due to the weakening of the low pressure over Northwest Madhya Pradesh. Moreover, the monsoon trough along with this system is also showing a tendency to shift northwards towards the foothills of Himalayas.
As per the weathermen, rains will go mute over large portions of the country, especially the plains after the next 48 hours. Besides this, West Coast which is the rainiest pocket of the country will also witness less rains.
Meanwhile, significant rain activity will be focused along the foothills of Himalayas, especially East Himalayas wherein Sikkim and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal will get heavy to extremely heavy rains.
Apart from this, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal along with northeastern states will also observe good Monsoon rains in coming days.
Also under such conditions, rains over Rayalaseema and Tamil Nadu will also pick up pace. According to the meteorologists, whenever Monsoon goes weak over entire country, Tamil Nadu witnesses rain.
Also, when the trough continues to run along the foothills of Himalayas for a longer period than these conditions are termed as “break Monsoon conditions”. However, these Monsoon conditions are not expected to last more than a week, predicts Skymet Weather.
