A well marked low pressure area is lying over northwest Madhya Pradesh and neighbourhood. It is likely to be practically stationary over the same area during the next 24 hours and weaken gradually thereafter.

The western end of the monsoon trough is south of its normal position and is likely to shift northwards to north of its normal position during the next 48 hours. Its eastern end continues to run towards Arunachal Pradesh across North Bangladesh which is also very likely to remain north of its normal position during the 4-5 days. Under the influence of these systems, widespread and heavy rainfall is likely over East Rajasthan and West Madhya Pradesh during the next five days. Heavy to very heavy falls with isolated extremely heavy rainfall (over 20cm) is very likely to continue over East Rajasthan and West Madhya Pradesh.
