The India Met Department (IMD) has indicated that the monsoon is bracing for another revival phase from the South Peninsula and Central India, from July 6 and 8, respectively.
This will come about with the likely formation of a cyclonic circulation over the North-West Bay of Bengal and adjoining Bengal coast around Friday (July 6). The US Climate Prediction Centre hinted that the ‘buzz’ due to the churn off the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha coast would continue to hold until July 19.
Meanwhile, the current circulation in the Bay is just the mechanism needed to ‘anchor’ the monsoon trough that is currently lying displaced, reducing the rainfall over Central and adjoining Peninsular India. This moisture will be routed through the rest of the trough to the West-North-West, to be poured down as rain to the South (including Central and adjoining Peninsular India).
Four-day outlook
The IMD now expects that the circulation would help align the trough closer to its normal position from Saturday (July 7) and preside over yet another revival phase of the monsoon.
The IMD forecast for the next four days is self explanatory: Wednesday: Heavy to very heavy rain over Konkan and Goa; heavy over Coast Karnataka, South Interior Karnataka, Gujarat, Bengal, Sikkim, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.
Thursday: Heavy to very heavy rain over Konkan, Goa and Coastal Karnataka; heavy over Interior Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathawada, Chhattisgarh, hills of Bengal, Sikkim, Odisha, Jharkhand, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.
Friday: Heavy rain at a few places with very heavy at isolated places over Coast Karnataka, Konkan and Goa; heavy to very heavy over Interior Karnataka and Telangana; heavy over Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, East Gujarat; Madhya Maharashtra, Marathawada, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.
