The southwest monsoon is expected to cover some more parts of Rajasthan, remaining parts of Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Sikkim during the next two days. It will also advance in some parts of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh during the period.

The low pressure area over northwest Bay of Bengal near Orissa coast has developed into a 'well marked' low pressure zone and will further move towards west northwest. Areas southwest of this system such as south Gujarat, west Madhya Pradesh, Madhya Maharashtra, Vidarbha, Orissa and north Andhra Pradesh will witness increased monsoon rainfall during the next two days.

The western parts of Northern Limit of Monsoon (NLM) has progressed during the last 24 hours. The NLM is passing through Udaipur, Guna, Satna, Ranchi, Behrampore, Jalpaiguri and Gangtok. The leading edge of monsoon system will further advance northwards during the next two days. NLM indicates leading edge of the monsoon system below which monsoon rainfall activities take place.

The seasonal offshore trough along the West coast runs from south Gujarat coast to Lakshadweep. Monsoon rain will continue at most of the places along the coast. One or two places in Konkan and Goa, coastal Karnataka and Kerala will have heavy showers.

Monsoon rains have almost dried up in northeast region due to lack of moisture that is pulled in by the weather system hovering in the Peninsular region. One or two places in northeast and sub-Himalayan West Bengal will get rain during the next two days.
