Central India usually remains free in terms of weather during this time of the year. According to meteorologists, parts of regions remain unaffected with the passage of Western Disturbance through Western Himalayas and are also far away from the Northeast Monsoon systems that form in south. Thus, states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh remain mainly dry.
Also, there is an anti-cyclone seen over East Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, which also keeps this area weather free. But whenever this anti-cyclone is pushed beyond this area, we see some untimely rains. Formation of any system in Arabian Sea or over Gujarat or Madhya Pradesh govern the wind pattern, which in turn shifts the prevailing anti-cyclone. Well this the exact scenario that can be seen at present.
Currently, a low pressure area is prevailing over southwest and adjoining southeast Arabian Sea. Besides this, a cyclonic circulation is marked over Southwest Madhya Pradesh and adjoining Gujarat. This has shifted anti-cyclone over east, which has paved way for moist winds leading to rains. This untimely spell of rains is likely to stay for around 4-5 days.
Madhya Pradesh have already recorded light to moderate rains and thundershowers during the last 24 hours. In span pf 24 hours from 8:30 am on Tuesday, Damoh recorded 16 mm of rains, Sagar 11 mm, Guna 2 mm, Satna 1 mm and Rewa 1 mm.
Madhya Pradesh would continue to record rains today as well, but receding tomorrow onward. Maharashtra would to start recording some rains today as well as tomorrow. Mumbai also stands a fair chance to witness rains today. As per weathermen, these systems are not static and keep moving, thus rain belt also shifts accordingly.
By December 27, parts of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Odisha would start witnessing rains and thundershowers. In fact, rains would also touch upon the few areas of West Bengal and Telangana.
