Peninsular India to continue receiving rainfall over the next 5 days
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said parts of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and south coastal Andhra Pradesh will receive heavy to very heavy rainfall on Wednesday and Thursday
Peninsular India will continue to receive light to moderate rainfall over the next five days under the influence of two low-pressure areas in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea off the coast of Goa and Karnataka.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said parts of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and south coastal Andhra Pradesh will receive heavy to very heavy rainfall on Wednesday and Thursday. Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and coastal Andhra Pradesh received rainfall last week under the influence of another low-pressure area.
Two troughs, an elongated low-pressure system, are in play at the moment. One of them is associated with the low-pressure area in the Arabian Sea that extends off Goa-Karnataka coast to Gujarat coast covering the entire Maharashtra. The other is also associated with the low-pressure area in the Arabian Sea and extending up to the low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal, the IMD said.

IMD said there will be an increase in the minimum temperatures across Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan by 2 to 3 degrees C during the next two to three days. There will be no other significant temperature change elsewhere in the country.
