PUNE: India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast fairly widespread, widespread light or moderate rainfall for parts of India.
Isolated heavy falls and thunderstorm and lightning have been forecast for Odisha from August 18 to 20; Gangetic West Bengal on August 18 and 19; Jharkhand on August 19 and 20; Vidarbha on August 20 and 21; Chhattisgarh and East Madhya Pradesh during August 19-21 and over West Madhya Pradesh during August 20-22.
Isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely over West Bengal and Sikkim on August 18 and 19; Vidarbha, Jharkhand and Odisha on August 18-20, East Madhya Pradesh on August 21 and over West Madhya Pradesh on August 22.
Isolated extremely heavy rainfall is also likely over north Odisha on August 19; north Chhattisgarh and East Madhya Pradesh on August 20 and over West Madhya Pradesh on August 21.
Fairly widespread, widespread light or moderate rainfall with isolated heavy falls and thunderstorm, lightning are very likely over west Rajasthan and Gujarat on August 18 and 22; east Rajasthan and Konkan and Goa during August 20-22 and over ghat areas of Maharashtra on August 21-22.
These showers may occur due to various weather systems. A well-marked low pressure area lies over northeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining southeast Bangladesh coast. It is very likely to continue to move northwestwards and concentrate into a depression by August 19 over North Bay of Bengal and adjoining West Bengal-Bangladesh coasts. Thereafter, it is likely to move west-northwestwards across Gangetic West Bengal, north
Odisha, Jharkhand and North Chhattisgarh.
Another well-marked low pressure area lies over southeast Pakistan and adjoining southwest Rajasthan with the associated cyclonic circulation extending up to 7.6 km above mean sea level. It is very likely to continue to move west-northwestwards and weaken gradually during next 24 hours. The western end of the monsoon trough is likely to shift to north of the normal position from August 19 and remain so during next 2-3 days while eastern end is likely to be along normal or south of the normal position during the same period.
