New Delhi, Wednesday, August 1, Showers are expected to reduce over Delhi and adjoining areas in the next twenty four hours. Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, areas of Uttar Pradesh bordering Nepal would continue to receive showers in the next twenty four hours. Increased rainfall is predicted over east Uttar Pradesh, northeast Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and West Bengal during the next one or two days.
Delhi and adjoining areas would witness subdued rainfall activities in the next twenty four hours as the monsoon trough would distance itself from this region as it is shifting northwards. It is predicted to touch the foothills of the Himalayas during next twenty four hours. Monsoon trough is essentially a region of intensified moisture laden monsoon winds.
The western end of the monsoon trough is likely to confront the foothills of Himalayas in the states of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand as well as areas of Uttar Pradesh adjoining Nepal. So rains are likely to pick up over these places. The areas of Punjab adjoining Himachal Pradesh, northeast Haryana and northwest Uttar Pradesh would also receive showers. A few places over Himachal, Uttarakhand and west Uttar Pradesh may receive heavy rains in the next twenty four hours.
Showers are expected to get a boost over east Uttar Pradesh, northeast Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and West Bengal as a cyclonic circulation is prevailing over Gangetic West Bengal adjoining Orissa. A trough is also extending from northwest Bay of Bengal up to northeast Uttar Pradesh. This will also give rain over these parts. Rains are likely to be light to moderate. However, heavy rains at one or two places are also possible over northeast Uttar Pradesh adjoining Bihar, northeast Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand.
The eastern end of the shifting monsoon trough would be close to sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim and northeastern states after next twenty four hours. This will increase rainfall activities over these places during the next twenty four to forty eight hours.
Along the west coast, the seasonal trough extending from south Gujarat to north Karnataka coast is weak but the prevalence of the moist southwesterly winds will continue to give showers along the coast over Maharashtra, Goa and north Karnataka.
In the south, the weather remains almost dry over Tamil Nadu as the moist deficient southwesterly winds fail to give rain.
