Rainy week ahead across country, barring Northwest India: IMD
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) Friday said the entire country, except Northwest India, will experience moderate to heavy rainfall till Wednesday. This is because the Southwest Monsoon is currently active in addition to the development of multiple favourable weather systems. A well-marked low-pressure system is present over Northeast Jharkhand, and its north-westward movement will cause heavy rainfall (64.5 mm – 115 mm in 24 hours) over Bihar till Wednesday, over sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim during Sunday to Tuesday, and over Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday and Wednesday, IMD indicated. Rainfall activity over the west coast will continue through early next week, with moist winds from the Arabian Sea attracted by the presence of an offshore trough extending between the Konkan region and Kerala. The Met department has warned of heavy rainfall over Gujarat, Konkan, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, Goa, and coastal Karnataka till Wednesday and over Kerala and Mahe from Sunday to Wednesday. Very heavy rainfall (115 mm – 204 mm in 24 hours) is likely over Madhya Maharashtra on Friday and over Gujarat on Sunday and Monday, the IMD said. With the latest advance of the monsoon realised on Thursday, the northern limit of the monsoon passes through Barmer, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Gwalior, Khajuraho, Sonbhadra, and Ballia. According to the IMD, favourable conditions will further propel the monsoon into more parts of Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir-Gilgit-Baltistan-Muzaffarabad as well as Punjab during the next two to three days. 'The Southwest Monsoon is likely to cover the remaining areas of India during June 26-July 2,' the IMD said. If realised, this will be an early advance into the entire country before its normal date of July 6-8. Since June 1, rainfall of 82.6 mm has been reported across India, marking a deficit of 5 per cent.
