Weather Report & Forecast
(Indicating regional changes)

July 11, 2008

Weather forecast valid for next 3 days

         The morning’s low pressure area over northwest Madhya Pradesh and neighbourhood persists. Under its influence, fairly widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy falls is likely over west Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat State and east and southwest Rajasthan during the next 36 hours and decrease thereafter. Numerical Weather Prediction models continue to suggest likely interaction of above low pressure area with the mid-tropospheric westerly trough. Consequently, scattered to fairly widespread rainfall activity is likely over northwest India during the next 2-3 days. Current meteorological analysis and numerical weather prediction models suggest fairly widespread rainfall activity over northeastern states, West Bengal and Sikkim during the next 4-5 days. The axis of monsoon trough at mean sea level passes through Phalodi, Ajmer, the centre of low pressure area, Fatehpur, Gaya, Midnapore, Sagar islands and thence south-eastwards to eastcentral Bay of Bengal. A secondary trough passes through Gaya, Malda, Kohima and thence eastwards. .

         Rain/ thundershowers are likely at a few places over Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, west Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi during the next 24 hours and increase thereafter. Isolated rain/ thundershowers are likely over the rest of the region. Rain/ thundershowers are likely at many places over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya. Rain/ thundershowers are likely at many places over Andaman and Nicobar islands. Rain/ thundershowers are likely at a few places over north coastal Andhra Pradesh, coastal Karnataka, Kerala and Lakshadweep and isolated over the rest of the region. Rain/ thundershowers are likely at many places over Konkan, Goa, east and southwest Rajasthan and Gujarat State during the next 36 hours and decrease thereafter. Rain/ thundershowers are likely at few places over northwest Rajasthan and north Madhya Maharashtra. Rain/ thundershowers are likely at isolated places over the rest region. Rain/ thundershowers are likely at many places over west Madhya Pradesh during the next 36 hrs and decrease thereafter. Rain/ thundershowers are likely at a few places over east Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha and Chhattisgarh during the next 24 hrs and isolated thereafter.

         Mainly dry weather in the rest of the country.

        MONSOON WATCH: The southwest monsoon has further advanced into remaining parts of Rajasthan and thus has covered the entire country today, July 10, 2008, about 5 days earlier than the normal schedule.

        Warning (for the next 48 hours): Isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely over north Konkan, west Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat region, east and southwest Rajasthan, sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh.
