New Delhi: The spell of heavy rainfall is predicted to continue in parts of Gujarat as the state continues to bear the brunt of heavy downpours over the past few days causing waterlogging and flooding in many areas, whereas Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are predicted to get relief from torrential rains as the governments undertake relief following the receding of flood waters, the IMD weather forecast has stated.
In its latest all India weather bulletin, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted a light bout of rains with generally cloudy skies over parts of north India including Delhi-NCR but warned that extremely rainfall will continue in Gujarat today.
In its weather observations, the IMD said a low-pressure area is currently situated over southwest Madhya Pradesh and its surrounding regions. The western end of the monsoon trough at mean sea level is near its normal position, while the eastern end is south of its normal position, a pattern expected to persist for the next 2-3 days.
Additionally, a cyclonic circulation is present over Saurashtra and its neighbouring areas in the middle tropospheric levels. A shear zone extends roughly along 20°N over northern Peninsular India in the lower tropospheric levels. Moreover, a fresh low-pressure area is anticipated to develop over the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal around September 5th, 2024.
Here’s the complete state-wise weather prediction by IMD:
