Abstract

The low pressure area lies over central parts of Madhya Pradesh along with associated cyclonic circulation extending upto upper tropospheric levels tilting southwestwards with height. It is very likely to move west-northwest and weaken gradually during next 2 days. • A trough runs from south Gujarat to north Odisha across cyclonic circulation associated with the low pressure area at mid & upper tropospheric levels and a cyclonic circulation lies over south Gujarat & neighbourhood at lower tropospheric levels. • Strong southwesterly/westerly monsoonal flow over the Arabian sea with winds speed reaching upto 50-60 kmph along & off west coast at lower tropospheric levels very likely to continue to prevail during next 24 hours. • Under the above favorable scenario, (i) Widespread rainfall with isolated/ scattered heavy to very heavy falls most likely to continue over Gujarat state, Konkan & Goa (including Mumbai) and Madhya Maharashtra (ghat areas) till 6th August and reduce thereafter; isolated extremely heavy falls likely over Gujarat state on 06th August. (ii) Widespread rainfall ( except Tamilnadu where isolated to scattered rainfall is likely ) with isolated heavy to very heavy falls also likely over Tamilnadu, Kerala and South Interior & Coastal Karnataka during next 4-5 days. Isolated extremely heavy falls likely over Coastal Karnataka on 08th, 09th August; over Tamil Nadu on 06th, 08th & 09th August; over Kerala & Mahe during 06-09th August, 2020. • A low pressure area is likely to develop over westcentral & adjoining north Bay of Bengal around 9th August, 2020.
