As November progresses, India’s weather is undergoing significant changes with various meteorological systems impacting different regions. On November 9, 2023, a Low-Pressure Area lies over the East-central Arabian Sea, accompanied by a cyclonic circulation over the Comorin area in the lower tropospheric levels. Additionally, two Western Disturbances are affecting northern India, which will result in varying weather conditions across the country.
Rainfall Predictions in South India
Under the influence of the Low Pressure Area and the cyclonic circulation, the southern parts of India can expect light to moderate scattered to fairly widespread rainfall. Specifically, South Peninsular India is likely to experience this rainfall pattern, while Konkan & Goa and Madhya Maharashtra can expect light to moderate isolated to scattered rainfall over the next two days. Kerala and Tamil Nadu are also expected to receive isolated heavy rainfall on November 9.
Impact on Northern Regions
In northern India, two Western Disturbances are making their presence felt. One Western Disturbance, in the form of a trough in the middle tropospheric westerlies, runs roughly along Long. 78°E to the north of Lat. 32°N, while another Western Disturbance, also in the form of a trough in middle tropospheric westerlies, runs roughly along Long. 65°E to the north of Lat. 28°N.
Under the influence of these systems, the following weather conditions are expected:
- Uttarakhand can anticipate light to moderate isolated rainfall and snowfall on November 9 and 10.
- Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Muzaffarabad are likely to experience scattered to fairly widespread rainfall and snowfall on November 9 and 10.

Rest of the Country
However, for the rest of the country, no significant weather events are predicted on November 9, 2023.
