MUMBAI – The India Meteorological Department said on Friday that enhanced rainfall is likely over northeast India, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry over the next five to six days.

 

Heavy to very heavy rainfall with extremely heavy falls is likely over Meghalaya, sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, and Bihar on Friday, the weather bureau said. Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura are likely to see heavy rainfall on Friday and Saturday, and parts of these states will likely get heavy rainfall during the next seven days, it said.

 

Squally weather with wind speeds reaching 35 kilometres per hour to 45 kilometres per hour and gusting to 55 kilometres per hour is likely over the Gulf of Mannar and most parts of the Bay of Bengal on Friday, the weather bureau said. The weather bureau has advised fishermen not to venture into these areas during the period.

 

The bureau said that a low-pressure area is lying over the northern Bay of Bengal and coastal areas of Bangladesh and West Bengal. Another cyclonic circulation is lying over north Bangladesh and sub-Himalayan West Bengal, extending to middle 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, more parts of Madhya Pradesh, remaining parts of east Rajasthan, and some parts of Gujarat and Maharashtra over the next two to three days. 

Northwest, west and central India are unlikely to get any significant rainfall during the next week, the weather bureau said. End
