The monsoon trough remains active and is positioned near its normal trajectory, expected to maintain this alignment over the next 4-5 days. A shear zone extends along 22°N, tilting southwards with height in the lower and middle tropospheric levels. Additionally, an offshore trough at mean sea level stretches along the South Gujarat to North Karnataka coasts. Further cyclonic circulations are present over southwest Rajasthan and northwest Uttar Pradesh at lower tropospheric levels.
