Deep depression brings heavy rain to Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Gujarat
A deep depression over north-west Bay of Bengal appeared to have crossed Odisha coast on Monday evening, delayed by a few hours than originally forecast, as it brought isolated extremely heavy rain over Chhattisgarh, Odisha and East Rajasthan and heavy rain over Vidarbha, Madhya Maharashtra and Gujarat Region (North Gujarat, Gandhinagar and South Gujarat).
Satellite pictures
Satellite pictures at 4 pm showed rain clouds over Andhra Pradesh (Rajahmundry and Visakhapatnam); Telangana (Kothagudem, Warangal and Ramagundam); Vidarbha (Chandrapur, Nagpur and Gondia); Chhattisgarh (Raipur and Korba); Odisha (Sambalpur and Nowrangapur); West Madhya Pradesh (Indore, Punasa and Ratlam); East Madhya Pradesh (Chhindwara, Jabalpur and Chhatarpur); East Rajasthan; and East Uttar Pradesh.
Pacific stays active
India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the monsoon trough remained south of its normal position and may continue to do so for next 3-4 days. There is no signal yet of another low-pressure area taking shape in the Bay, a rarity at this last phase of the monsoon, but neighbouring West Pacific/South China Sea remain in an aggressive state with at least two major typhoons developing during the next few days. On Monday, a non-monsoonal secondary trough ran down from south-west Uttar Pradesh to the centre of deep depression in the Bay across north Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha.
