Abstract

• A north-south trough runs from Bihar to Westcentral Bay of Bengal in lower tropospheric levels. A cyclonic circulation lies in the mid tropospheric levels over Northwest & adjoining Westcentral Bay of Bengal off Odisha-north Andhra Pradesh coasts. • Under the influence of the above two systems, a low pressure area is likely to form over Northwest Bay of Bengal & neighbourhood by today,the 13th August. It is likely to persist over the region and become more organized over North Bay of Bengal during the subsequent 2-3 days. • Western part of the monsoon trough has shifted to the north of its normal position and it is likely to remain there during next 48 hours. Eastern part of it is in its near normal position. • Under the above scenario, (i) Fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with heavy to very heavy falls at isolated places very likely over major parts of northwest India (Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh & Delhi, Uttar Pradesh) during next 2-3 days. (ii) Fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with heavy to very heavy falls at isolated places very likely over Gujarat state, East Rajasthan and parts of central India during next 48 hours. Isolated extremely heavy falls also likely over Gujarat state & East Rajasthan and isolated heavy to very heavy falls over northern parts of Konkan & Goa during next 72 hours. • Moderate to Severe thunderstorm accompanied with lightning very likely at isolated places over East Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh during next 24 hours.
