Rain intensity is likely to reduce over northwest India from today. The monsoon trough is at the south of its normal position. It is very likely to shift gradually northwards from Friday. A cyclonic circulation is lying over Saurashtra and neighbourhood and extends up to middle tropospheric levels. It is likely to move north-westwards during the next two days and become less marked thereafter. A trough (area of low pressure) is running from cyclonic circulation over Saurashtra and neighbourhood to Haryana across central parts of Rajasthan at lower tropospheric levels. It is likely to become less marked during the next 24 hours.

A cyclonic circulation is lying over West Central and adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal off south Andhra Pradesh-north Tamil Nadu coasts. It is likely to become less marked during the next 24 hours.

Due to these meteorological conditions, widespread rainfall activity with isolated very heavy rain is very likely over Saurashtra and Kutch during the next 24 hours and isolated heavy rain is also very likely over Gujarat region and over Saurashtra and Kutch on Friday
Rainfall activity over south peninsular India is likely to increase from September 4 with widespread rainfall activity and isolated heavy rain very likely over Konkan, Goa, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu during September 4 and 6; Karnataka, Kerala, Mahe and Marathwada on September 5 and 6 and over Madhya Maharashtra on September 6.

“The remnants of a low pressure system is still bringing widespread rains over Gujarat and Kutch region. The same system was bringing widespread and intense rain over Delhi and other parts of northwest India till Thursday. The system has now weakened but a western disturbance is also impacting the region. Now with the development of a low pressure area around September 6, we can expect an active spell specially over central India. Large scale features are supporting the movement of the system westwards,” explained K Sathi Devi, head, national weather forecasting centre.
