Abstract

A low pressure Area is likely to form over north Bay of Bengal around 04th august 2020. • An east-west oriented wind convergence zone has already developed along Lat.17°N tilting southwards with height at middle level. • The monsoon trough at mean sea level is presently at normal position and likely to shift southwards and strengthen during next 3-4 days. • As a consequence of these meteorological features, southwesterly monsoon flow is likely to strengthen over Arabian sea and along the west-coast due to increase in north-south pressure gradient and strengthening of winds. • Under the above favourable scenario, Monsoon will enter to active phase over the Central and Peninsular India from 4th August onwards for subsequent 3-4 days. • Widespread rainfall with scattered heavy to very heavy rainfall with isolated extremely heavy falls likely over Konkan & Goa during 3rd to 5th Aug(over Mumbai, heavy to very heavy rainfall on 3rd August and with isolated extremely heavy falls on 4th and 5th August), Madhya Maharashtra including the ghat areas during 04th and 5th August.
