East and Northeast India
The low pressure area that runs from Assam to central India in a northeast direction would continue to prevail throughout the week so the rain would continue over sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram and Tripura. In fact these parts would have more rain compared to north and northwestern parts as well as other regions of the country.
Central India
Rain is expected in central India on Friday as a trough of low pressure area is expected to form from Rajasthan to Vidarbha region in central India. Showers would be light and would fade away in a day till Saturday. The weather will be dry and rise in temperatures will be witnessed till Friday. Some parts may even record day temperatures way above 40 degrees. But rain and clouds would drop these temperatures during the weekend.
South India
Rain will continue to occur at one or two places in south Peninsula over Kerala, south interior Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The wind discontinuity or the low pressure area that formed due to confluence of southwesterly to westerly winds from the Arabian Sea and easterly to southeasterly winds from the Arabian Sea will continue to prevail throughout the week.
