It is very likely to move nearly westwards across West Rajasthan during next 2 days and become less marked thereafter. However, the associated cyclonic circulation is likely to meander over south Rajasthan neighbourhood region for subsequent 2-3 days. The monsoon trough is active and south of its normal position. It is likely to remain active during next 2-3 days. • Under the influence of the above systems, Isolated extremely heavy falls are very likely over Southwest Rajasthan and Gujarat state today, the 24th.
