New Delhi: Monsoon has once again become active in many parts of the country. The dry winds coming from the west have been pushed back by the monsoon winds. At the same time, due to the influence of the low pressure area around Madhya Pradesh, the rainfall has intensified in many parts of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Central India. Looking at the current circumstances, the necessary conditions for the departure of monsoon have not yet been fully prepared.
Will there be a delay in the departure of monsoon this time?
According to current meteorological indications, this time the withdrawal of monsoon may be delayed beyond the normal time. Another seasonal system is likely to form in the Bay of Bengal around September 20. Due to this, monsoon activities may continue further. In such a situation, the withdrawal of monsoon is expected to extend beyond September 17. Last year, the withdrawal of monsoon started from western Rajasthan on 14 September.
How is the rainfall situation in the country?
According to the Meteorological Department, the total rainfall in the country so far is about 15 percent less than normal. At the same time, in some states, rainfall deficiency of 40 to 45 percent has been recorded. In such a situation, the September rains have become very important for farming.
How will the weather be in North India in the next few days?
According to IMD, the coming few days will be important for the activity of monsoon in North India. Light to moderate rain may occur over Terai and surrounding areas from Himachal Pradesh to Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. There will also be a danger of heavy rain in some areas of Uttarakhand. However, rainfall will not be uniform over all areas and may be intermittent at many places.
Will it rain in Punjab and Haryana?
The weather is likely to remain dry in western parts of Punjab and Haryana at present. At the same time, there is no possibility of completely dry weather in Delhi-NCR for the next few days. Due to local conditions and increased activity of monsoon winds, it may rain in some areas.
How much rain will there be in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat?
At present, the impact of rain remains more in Western and Central India. There may be heavy rain at many places in Rajasthan and East Gujarat along with most parts of Madhya Pradesh. After drought that lasted for about three weeks, rain has knocked again in Gujarat. However, lack of rain in Saurashtra and Kutch still remains a matter of concern.
What conditions are necessary for the withdrawal of monsoon?
The departure of monsoon is not decided only by the stopping of rains. For withdrawal of monsoon from a region, signals like reduction in sustained rainfall activities along with cyclones and substantial reduction in moisture in the lower atmosphere are also required. At present, the effect of rain and moisture continues in many parts of the country.
