Rainfall is Expected: A significant weather system is developing over the southwest Bangladesh region and its neighborhood, with an upper air circulation persisting at middle tropospheric levels. This system is expected to cause a low-pressure area over coastal West Bengal and southwest Bangladesh in the next 24 hours. As a result, rainfall is expected in parts of East and Northeast India, leading to widespread wet conditions.
Cyclonic Circulation over Lakshadweep
The cyclonic circulation that was observed over the Maldives region has now shifted to the Lakshadweep area. This shift will bring moderate to heavy rainfall across South Peninsular India, particularly in Kerala, Mahe, and South Interior Karnataka, where rainfall is expected to continue over the next week.
Heavy Rainfall Forecast for Northeast India
In the coming days, rainfall is expected to intensify in Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, and the Northeast states like Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh. Heavy to very heavy rains are forecasted, particularly on October 4th, which could lead to localized flooding and disruptions. The region is advised to stay prepared for potential rainfall-related challenges.
Limited Rainfall in Northwest & Central India
While rainfall is expected in many parts of India, the forecast shows that Northwest, West, and Central India will experience dry conditions with no significant rainfall in the upcoming week. This may lead to drier weather in these areas, contrasting with the wet conditions forecasted for other regions.
