MUMBAI – A depression over east Vidarbha is likely to cause extremely heavy rainfall over central Maharashtra and Gujarat region in the next two days, the India Meteorological Department said today.
Very heavy rainfall is also predicted under the influence of the depression over parts of Konkan, Goa, Marathwada, west Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha over the next two days, the weather bureau said. Similar weather conditions are predicted in Gujarat Tuesday and Wednesday, it said.
In view of very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall, the weather department has issued a red alert in central Maharashtra, Gujarat region, and Marathwada for today. It has also issued an orange alert in Konkan, Goa, north interior Karnataka, Vidarbha, Uttarakhand, and west Madhya Pradesh for today.
A red alert indicates extremely heavy rainfall of over 204.4 mm in 24 hours, and an orange alert denotes very heavy rainfall of 115.6-204.4 mm.
The weather bureau said there is a low to moderate flash flood risk over a few watersheds and neighbourhoods during the next 24 hours in east Rajasthan, Vidarbha, Marathwada, and Gujarat region. Surface runoff and inundation may occur over some fully saturated soils and low-lying areas in the next 24 hours, it said.
The depression is likely to move towards the northwest across Vidarbha and weaken into a well-marked low pressure area during the next 12 hours, the weather department said. Heavy rainfall is very likely over parts of central Maharashtra during the next seven days, it said.
The IMD also said that heavy to very heavy rainfall is very likely over parts of north interior Karnataka during the next two days. The weather bureau said very heavy rainfall is likely over parts of east Rajasthan on Saturday.
A fresh low pressure area is likely to form over the westcentral and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal around Thursday, the IMD said. End
