Southwest monsoon has gone frail and feeble over large parts of the country for the last few days. Break-Monsoon conditions have lowered the rainfall, even over those parts where it matters most at this point of time. The normal monsoon activity is in a state of suspension, albeit temporarily, over northern, western, central and some southern parts of the country.

There is nothing very unusual about this, and such a lean phase is an inbuilt characteristic of the seasonal monsoon. However, the prolonged phase, if any, does leave anxious moments for the farming community, which may not be the case this time.

To break this affliction, a low-pressure area is likely to come up over the Bay of Bengal during the first half of next week. As a precursor, a cyclonic circulation is expected to form on a broad area on 12th August. This will consolidate over the northwest Bay of Bengal and become stronger by 13th August. Going further, this may turn into a low-pressure area the next day, on 14th August. The timings, climatology and environmental conditions favour further strengthening over the sea itself. Possibly, it may become a depression before rolling inland.

The formation phase itself will increase the weather activity over West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand and East Uttar Pradesh. On amalgamation with the existing monsoon trough, the extent and intensity of weather activity will cover many more areas. Monsoon will revive and go rigorous over Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana and Konkan & Goa. The speedy and powerful rainy spell will invade parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat in the third week of August. Since the model accuracy fades after a lead time of about 5 days, the forecast will be watched and reviewed early next week.
