Some parts of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh experienced rain in the last 24 hours due to a cyclonic circulation over southeast Rajasthan and adjoining Gujarat. The weather system brought moist winds from the Arabian Sea and mixed with dry northerly winds to cause rain. According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, rain could again occur in Gujarat, east Rajasthan, west Madhya Pradesh and east Madhya Pradesh in next two days.
Skymet Meteorology Division in India explains that during this time of the year, amid high temperatures, cyclonic circulations pop up across the country wherein mixing of moist and dry winds take place to form convective clouds and bring rain. Even if it does not rain, the presence of moist winds keeps day temperatures under check, bringing reprieve from the scorching summer heat.
A similar cyclonic circulation over northeast Rajasthan could again be responsible for cloudy sky with chances of rain in the capital Jaipur and adjoining areas during the next 24 hours. Rain will remain subdued in other parts of northwest plains which could increase the maximum temperatures. But with a gap on 16th May, a fresh Western Disturbance will bring back rainy weather to the region.

Bankura, Asansol, Patna and Bhagalpur in the region will continue to observe above normal temperatures for the next two days.

Pre-monsoon rain is expected to remain subdued till the next week. However, isolated places in Kerala and south Tamil Nadu coast will continue to receive showers due to wind discontinuity.
