Abstract

The low pressure area over northwest Madhya Pradesh & neighbourhood is very likely to move northwestwards and merge with the monsoon trough during next 24 hours. • The monsoon trough is in its near normal position with the above low pressure area embedded in it. • Also, an east-west shear zone passes across central India in the mid-tropospheric levels tilting southwards with height. • A fresh low pressure area is likely to form over Northwest Bay of Bengal & neighbourhood around 13th August. • Under the above scenario, (i) Fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places very likely over major parts of northwest India (Western Himalayan region, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh & Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and East Rajasthan) during 11th-12th August. (ii) Fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places are also very likely over parts of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat region during 11th-14th August with likely further enhancement of rainfall intensity over north Gujarat and southwest Madhya Pradesh on 13th & 14th August. • Strength of monsoon westerlies over southern parts of Arabian Sea has reduced and Is likely to reduce further during next 4 days. Under this scenario, rainfall activity is very likely to reduce further over Kerala and Karnataka during next 4 days. • Moderate to Severe thunderstorm accompanied with lightning very likely at isolated places over northeast Rajasthan and western parts of Uttar Pradesh.
