Rainfall likely to return to region from Aug 14: Met
Indore: After more than 10 days of dry weather, the Meteorological Department has predicted the return of rainfall to the region from August 14, owing to the development of a low-pressure system over the northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal around August 13. The system is expected to revive monsoon activity, bringing much-needed relief from prevailing heat and humidity. In the last 24 hours from Saturday morning to Sunday morning, Indore reported only 0.1 mm of rainfall. During the dry spell, temperatures in Indore rose notably above normal. On Sunday, the maximum temperature was recorded at 31.1 degrees Celsius, three degrees above average, while the minimum temperature stood at 22.6 degrees Celsius, one degree above normal. The persistent absence of rain, coupled with high daytime temperatures, resulted in warm and humid conditions across the city. By 5:30pm, the temperature was 26.8 degrees Celsius, with relative humidity at 84% and winds blowing from the west-northwest at 12 km/h. The synoptic situation shows the monsoon trough passing through parts of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Arunachal Pradesh. Cyclonic circulations persist over central Uttar Pradesh and the northeast Arabian Sea adjoining Gujarat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo "Indore reported thunderstorm activity in the last 24 hours from Saturday morning to Sunday morning.

Goa experiences weak monsoon, dry start to Aug
Panaji: The southwest monsoon faltered in Goa during the first ten days of Aug 2025, with rainfall far below seasonal expectations and most of the state's 13 rain gauge stations recording only scant precipitation. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'This has been one of the driest starts to Aug so far,' said M R Ramesh Kumar, meteorologist and retired scientist of the National Institute of Oceanography. 'There is a 10% deficit for Goa compared to a 1% deficit for the entire Indian subcontinent. This doesn't augur well for Goa as the peak monsoon months of July and Aug contribute about 61% of the seasonal total,' he said. 'We have only 21 days of Aug left, with no convective systems forming over the Arabian Sea or the Bay of Bengal.' Kumar attributed the weak monsoon to several unfavourable meteorological factors, including weak low-level jet streams — with wind speeds as low as 10 knots — limiting the moisture transported from the surrounding seas. Additionally, dry northwesterly winds from the arid regions of Saudi Arabia and Africa dominated the lower atmosphere up to 2,500 metres, further suppressing the moisture inflow. 'The monsoon trough and the offshore trough have not been positioned favourably, and no depressions have formed in the Arabian Sea or the Bay of Bengal this month,' Kumar said. 'These conditions have collectively hindered the development of active monsoon phases over Goa.' Seasonal totals remain uneven, with Dharbandora receiving the most at 2,795.4mm, and Mormugao trailing with only 1,385.7mm. So far, the state has recorded a total of 2,054.2mm (81 inches) of seasonal total rainfall since June 1. With the state still in the peak monsoon window, Kumar cautioned that a continued shortfall could stress water resources and disrupt crop cycles, particularly for paddy farmers dependent on consistent rainfall. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The (IMD) issued a yellow alert for Goa from Aug 14 to 16, warning of heavy rainfall at isolated places and light to moderate rainfall very likely across the state. The IMD also warned of squally weather with wind speed reaching 40-50kmph gusting to 60kmph along and off the south Maharashtra-Goa coast on Aug 13 and 14. Fisherfolk have been advised not to venture into that area during this period.
