Northeast region: According to Skymet, the region will continue to witness heavy to very heavy rainfall for next 48 hours over Sub Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam and Meghalaya. Moving on to East India, areas such as Bihar, Jharkhand, and Gangetic West Bengal are also expected to receive good showers in next 24 hours. However, rainfall intensity and spread is expected to reduce gradually over the period. As on September 21, the region observes a deficit of 15% and it is quite unlikely that there would be any substantial recovery. This monsoon season, the region observed below normal rainfall, both in pre-monsoon and Southwest Monsoon season, albeit with few exceptions. It did not even witness any major episode of flooding like it does every monsoon season.
Central Region: Isolated rain is expected over areas of south Madhya Pradesh and Madhya Maharashtra. Most of the stations have been observing a dry spell and will continue to witness similar weather conditions. As the withdrawal season commences, the winds are blowing from west and northwest direction in most parts of Central India. According to Skymet, days will continue to be sunny but mornings and nights will become comfortable in the coming days.
Southern Region: South India has received the best rainfall so far, compared to other regions of the country. At present, the region has been observing light rain over the past few days. However, according to Skymet, rainfal is expected to increase over southern peninsula, which includes Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Southern Andhra Pradesh during the next two to three days. The prime reason behind the increase in rainfall over peninsular region is due to the turf that is running from south Andhra to Kerala across Tamil Nadu.
Northern region: According to Skymet, North and Northwest India will continue to experience dry weather and clear sky over the next 48 hours. Temperature is expected to remain stable, which is already on the higher side, making the daytime a little uneasy for people. However, early morning and evening hours will be pleasant and comfortable. Meanwhile, the withdrawal of monsoon has begun from west Rajasthan. It has also retreated from Kutch, parts of Punjab and Haryana. Gradually monsoon will retreat from Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, west Uttar Pradesh, east Rajasthan and Gujarat in next few days.
