Southwest Monsoon spreads its wings in Central India

June 20, 2016 5:17 PM | Skymet Weather Team

The recent cyclonic circulation which originated into East Coast off Bay of Bengal and travelled towards Chhattisgarh and Vidarbha has given good rain over southern and eastern parts of Madhya Pradesh and few places of Chhattisgarh.

But now as the weather system has moved further west toward Maharashtra, the weather activity will be subdued over Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh for next 24 hours.

After 24 hours, the scattered rain and thundershower activity will commence over Chhattisgarh and East Madhya Pradesh. One or two places may receive good rainfall of around 60-80 mm. And Monsoon which has reached southeast parts of Madhya Pradesh is expected to cover south and east Madhya Pradesh during next 2-3 days.

Now good rains expected to continue from June 22 onwards over Chhattisgarh and most Madhya Pradesh. However North and West Madhya Pradesh will get pre-Monsoon rains which will be patchy in nature.

As Skymet Weather had predicted that Monsoon will lash good rains over central India but June rainfall will be somewhat below normal.

Chhattisgarh is presently at 9% rain deficient and therefore we expect that by the end of June rainfall will be normal. But similar is not with Madhya Pradesh, East Madhya Pradesh which is at 38% rain deficient and West Madhya Pradesh which is at 58% rain deficient may not be able to make up the deficit by the end of June.

But as the Monsoon is expected to pick up pace in the month of July and August therefore we expect that rainfall over entire Madhya Pradesh will be marginally above normal.
