IMD issues ‘extremely heavy rainfall' warning for Uttarakhand as monsoon trough moves north
The weather department has made similar predictions for sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya from August 11-14.
The western end of the monsoon trough at mean sea level runs north of its normal position and the eastern end runs near the foothills of the Himalayas at mean sea level. The monsoon trough had temporarily shifted towards its normal position on Saturday.
'An upper air cyclonic circulation is lying over north coastal Andhra Pradesh and adjoining Telangana in lower and middle tropospheric levels, titling southwards with height. An upper air cyclonic circulation is lying over northwest Uttar Pradesh in lower tropospheric levels. An upper air cyclonic circulation is also lying over Kutch and its neighbourhood in lower tropospheric levels. Further, an upper air cyclonic circulation lies over northeast Assam in lower tropospheric levels,' the IMD said in its weather bulletin on Monday.
A western disturbance seen as a cyclonic circulation is lying over north Pakistan and adjoining Jammu and Kashmir in lower and middle tropospheric levels, the Met department said, adding that a low-pressure area is likely to form over northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal around August 13, which is likely to become more marked over the subsequent two days.
'Under the influence of these systems, extremely heavy rainfall is very likely at isolated places over Uttarakhand on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Isolated heavy rainfall is likely over Jammu and Kashmir during August 13-15; Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand till August 17; Haryana, Chandigarh during August 13 and 15; Uttar Pradesh till August 15; East Rajasthan during August 15 to 17 with very heavy rainfall over Himachal Pradesh till August 14,' the IMD said.

Severe weather, delayed re-routing likely caused May IndiGo incident: DGCA
Severe weather and non-timely action in re-routing the aircraft clear of weather were the probable causes that led to IndiGo's Delhi-Srinagar flight incident where the aircraft's nose radome was damaged on May 21, according to the probe findings by aviation regulator DGCA. On May 21, IndiGo's A321 neo aircraft VT-IMD while operating flight 6E-2142 from Delhi to Srinagar encountered severe weather, including hail, during cruise. After landing in Srinagar, the aircraft radome was found damaged, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol told the Rajya Sabha on Monday. The incident was investigated by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). "The investigation has revealed that severe weather existing en-route and non-timely action in re-routing the aircraft clear of weather was the probable cause of the occurrence," the minister said in a written reply. On May 23, two days after the incident, DGCA had said IndiGo flight crew initially attempted to return but as they were close to the thunderstorm cloud, they decided to penetrate the weather. "Subsequently, they encountered hailstorm and severe turbulence. Crew chose to continue at the same heading to exit the weather by the shortest route towards Srinagar," it had said in a statement. While in a thunderstorm cloud, the regulator had said warnings of Angle of Attack fault, Alternate Law protection lost, backup Speed scale unreliable were triggered. "Due to updraft and downdraft encountered by the aircraft the Autopilot tripped and aircraft speed had wide variations. As a result, Maximum Operating Speed/Maximum operating Mach (VMO/MMO) warnings and repeated stall warnings were triggered," it had said. On May 21, the flight crew had sought permission to enter Pakistan airspace to avoid turbulence but the request was rejected.

Over 16 lakh people affected by floods in Bihar, rescue operations underway
Patna, Aug 11 (PTI) More than 16 lakh people have been affected by floods in Bihar, where several rivers are in spate due to torrential rainfall in the past 24 hours, officials said on Monday. A total of 32 teams of the NDRF and the SDRF have been engaged in rescue operations, they said. 'Incessant rain in various districts, including Bhojpur, Patna, Bhagalpur, Vaishali, Lakhisarai, Saran, Munger, Khagaria and Begusarai caused rivers and streams to overflow… Besides, heavy rainfall in catchment areas of Nepal has also led to rivers flowing above the danger level at several places," an official said. 'Rains in the past few days have raised the water level of the Ganga, Kosi, Bagmati, Burhi Gandak, Punpun and Ghaghara rivers in the state. These are flowing above the danger mark at certain places in Bhojpur, Patna, Bhagalpur, Vaishali, Lakhisarai, Saran, Munger, Khagaria and Begusarai," the Disaster Management Department said in a statement. More than 16 lakh people are currently affected by floods in the state. No deaths have been reported so far from any part of Bihar, it said. 'In view of the continuous rise in the water levels of several rivers in Bihar and heavy rainfall in the catchment areas of Nepal-based Gandak and Kosi rivers, all concerned wings of the Water Resources Department (WRD) have been instructed to stay on alert mode," Principal Secretary, WRD, Santosh Kumar Mall, told PTI. Directions have also been issued to districts concerned to remain fully prepared for setting up more relief camps and community kitchens if the situation aggravates further, he said. Altogether 3,83,340 people in 18 panchayats of Saran district were affected by the floods, 3,15,596 people in 36 panchayats of Begusarai, 2,37,765 people in 67 panchayats of Bhagalpur, 1,88,000 people in 30 panchayats of Bhojpur, 1,85,786 people in 24 panchayats of Patna, 1,67,200 people in 23 panchayats of Vaishali, 1,26,000 people in 28 panchayat of Munger, the statement said.
