New Delhi: India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday said that the prevailing meteorological conditions, large scale atmospheric features and the forecast wind pattern by dynamical models suggest that no favourable conditions are likely to develop for further advance of southwest monsoon into remaining parts of Rajasthan, west Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi and Punjab during next seven days.
According to the officials in IMD, the Northern Limit of southwest monsoon (NLM) continues to pass through Barmer, Bhilwara, Dholpur, Aligarh, Meerut, Ambala and Amritsar.
The Met department officials also said that the subdued rainfall activity is very likely to prevail over Northwest, Central and western parts of Peninsular India during next five days.
However, under the influence of strong moist southwesterly winds, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall is very likely over West Bengal and Sikkim and northeastern states during next five days, they further said.
“While isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is very likely over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim and Assam, Meghalaya during next five days, heavy rainfall at isolated places over Arunachal Pradesh on June 29-30 over Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura on June 30”, the IMD said.
The moist easterly winds are likely to pickup in strength, causing enhanced rainfall activity all along the foothills regions of north Bihar, north Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh around July 1-2 leading to increased inflow into the rivers which originate over these regions it added further.
The national weather bureau also said that under the influence of the cyclonic circulation over Jharkhand and neighbourhood, fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with isolated heavy falls and thunderstorm and lightning are very likely over most parts of East and adjoining Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha during next 24 hours.
Moderate thunderstorms accompanied by frequent cloud to ground lightning are very likely over Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Gangetic West Bengal during next 24 hours. This may cause injuries leading to casualties to people and animals staying outdoors, the bureau added.(UNI)
