MUMBAI – An east-west shear zone runs across central India, stretching from the eastern to western ends of the country, the India Meteorological Department said. Under its influence, heavy to very heavy rainfall with spells of extremely heavy showers are likely over parts of Gujarat region till Friday, for which the weather department has issued a red alert. The department has also issued a red alert for similar conditions that are also expected over parts of central Maharashtra till Thursday. A red alert indicates rainfall exceeding 204.5 millimetres in 24 hours and is the highest level of weather warning.

 

The same weather system is also likely to cause very heavy rainfall over parts of Konkan and Goa on Thursday, over central Maharashtra on Friday, and over Gujarat region during the weekend, the weather bureau said. Heavy showers accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning are expected over several parts of west India till Tuesday, the bureau said.

 

Active monsoon conditions are expected to persist over parts of northwest, central, east, and northeast India in the next three to four days due to the presence of several cyclonic circulations and a western disturbance acting as a cyclonic circulation near and above these regions. The east-west shear zone is also expected to impact these regions.

 

Heavy to very heavy showers with thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds are expected over most parts of northwest India till Tuesday, the weather department said. In central India, very heavy rainfall is likely over parts of west Madhya Pradesh on Thursday and over east Madhya Pradesh till Thursday. Heavy showers with thunderstorms and lightning are likely over many parts of central India till Sunday.

In northeast India, very heavy showers are likely over parts of Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura till Thursday. Thunderstorms and lightning are likely to persist over most parts of northeast India till Sunday, while heavy rainfall could continue till Tuesday, the bureau said.  End
