Widespread Rainfall Across India: The monsoon trough is active, with its western end positioned near its normal location, while the eastern end is slightly south of its typical position at mean sea level. This configuration is expected to persist for the next two to three days, contributing to the rainfall activity across various parts of India. Additionally, a low-pressure area has developed over the west-central and northwest Bay of Bengal, close to the coasts of northern Andhra Pradesh and southern Odisha. This system is likely to intensify into a depression and move northwards, affecting regions such as Gangetic West Bengal, Odisha, and Bangladesh in the coming days.
Cyclonic Circulation and Regional Impacts: Widespread Rainfall
A cyclonic circulation is also observed over northwest Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, extending upwards to mid-tropospheric levels and tilting southwestwards with height. This system, along with the low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal, is expected to drive rainfall patterns across India, including parts of the northern and central regions.
Forecast for Western and Central India: Widespread Rainfall
Over the coming week, West and Central India are expected to see widespread light to moderate rainfall, with isolated heavy showers anticipated in areas such as Chhattisgarh. Regions including Madhya Maharashtra, Konkan & Goa, & Saurashtra & Kutch will likely experience heavy rainfall bouts between September 6th & 10th. Similarly, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Vidarbha are forecasted to encounter comparable weather patterns during this period.
Rainfall in Southern and Northeastern India: Widespread Rainfall
Southern Peninsular India, particularly Kerala, Mahe, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana is expected to experience fairly widespread light to moderate rainfall in the coming days. Isolated heavy showers are likely in Kerala from the 8th to the 11th of September. Meanwhile, Northeast India, including states like Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, and Manipur, will also see substantial rainfall, with isolated heavy and very heavy showers expected throughout the week, especially on the 7th and 11th of September.
