MUMBAI – The India Meteorological Department said Thursday that enhanced rainfall activity will likely continue over northeast India, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry over the next six to seven days.
The weather bureau said northeastern states along with Sikkim and sub-Himalayan West Bengal are likely to see heavy to very heavy rainfall on Thursday and Friday and parts of these states will likely get heavy rainfall during the next seven days.
The weather bureau said squally weather with winds of 35 kilometres per hour to 45 kilometres per hour and gusting to 55 kilometres per hour is likely over most parts of the east-central and northeast Bay of Bengal and has advised fishermen not to venture into these areas.
On weather systems, the bureau said, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the northern Bay of Bengal around Friday. There is also another cyclonic circulation over Lakshadweep area in lower tropospheric levels, it said.
Cyclonic circulation is an atmospheric wind flow at the upper levels associated with any low pressure system. The wind flow is counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
The weather bureau said conditions are favourable for further withdrawal of the monsoon from the remaining parts of west Uttar Pradesh and east Rajasthan, more parts of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, and some parts of Maharashtra over two to three days.
On Wednesday, the weather bureau said that the Southwest Monsoon had withdrawn from the entire Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Gilgit, Baltistan, Muzaffarabad, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi. The monsoon had also withdrawn from whole of West Rajasthan, and some parts of west Uttar Pradesh, west Madhya Pradesh, and east Rajasthan, it said.
The normal date for the monsoon withdrawal from these places is around Sept. 25-30. The Southwest Monsoon started to withdraw on Sept. 23 from parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat, against the normal date of Sept. 17.
Northwest, west, and central India are not likely to get any significant rainfall during the next week, the weather bureau said. End
