MUMBAI – The presence of three upper air cyclonic circulations over east and northeast India is likely to keep up the spell of intense rainfall over these regions, the India Meteorological Department said.

Heavy showers are likely to persist over several parts of east and northeast India till Tuesday, the department said.

 

Thunderstorms and lightning are expected over many parts of northeast India till Sunday, while thundersquall with wind speeds reaching 50–60 kilometres per hour and gusting to 70 km per hour are seen over parts of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands till Monday, the department said.

 

The monsoon trough lies to the north of its normal position and a western disturbance acting as a trough lies to the northwest of the country, the weather bureau said. Two upper air cyclonic circulations lie over Uttar Pradesh, the bureau said. Under the combined influence of these weather systems, very heavy showers are forecast over parts of Uttarakhand till Thursday and east Rajasthan on Friday and Saturday. Heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning are likely to continue over multiple parts of northwest India till Tuesday. 

 

An upper air cyclonic circulation lies over south Tamil Nadu, while another lies over south interior Karnataka, the weather department said.

Strong surface winds are expected over parts of Kerala, Lakshadweep, and Karnataka till Saturday, over Telangana till Friday, and over Andhra Pradesh till Sunday, the department said.

 

Currently, no active weather systems lie over west and central India. However, proximity to some active systems lying over other parts of the country is likely to influence weather over these regions, though not significantly. Very heavy rainfall is likely over parts of west Madhya Pradesh on Friday, over Konkan and Goa on Thursday, and over central Maharashtra till Thursday, the weather bureau said. Heavy rainfall is likely over parts of Konkan, Goa, and Madhya Pradesh on Friday, over west Madhya Pradesh till Thursday and on Saturday, and over Chhattisgarh and east Madhya Pradesh till Friday.
