The India Meteorological Department (IMD), on June 29th, prognosticated substantial precipitation across northwestern and northeastern regions of India over the ensuing four to five days. A low-pressure zone, currently hovering over the northwestern Bay of Bengal adjacent to the northern Odisha-Gangetic West Bengal coastlines, is attributed to this impending deluge.
Cyclonic formations have materialized over northeast Rajasthan, eastern Uttar Pradesh bordering Bihar, and northwestern Uttar Pradesh at lower tropospheric levels. An east-west trough stretches from northwestern Uttar Pradesh to the low-pressure area.
Due to these meteorological systems, sporadic torrential downpours are anticipated in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan from June 29th to July 3rd. Chhattisgarh, Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Odisha are likely to experience heavy rainfall on June 29th-30th, and Bihar from June 30th to July 2nd.
Furthermore, the IMD has forewarned of isolated, exceedingly heavy rainfall in Arunachal Pradesh on June 29th-30th and in Assam and Meghalaya on June 29th.
Key Points:
- Heavy to very heavy rainfall expected in northwest and northeast India over the next four to five days.
- Low-pressure area over northwest Bay of Bengal and cyclonic circulations contributing to the weather systems.
- Isolated heavy rainfall predicted in several states, including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, and more.
- Extremely heavy rainfall expected in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Meghalaya.
