Heavy rainfall in the city<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Extensive rains will occur throughout large areas of India for the coming week, as the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts heavy to very heavy rains in some states due to the ongoing active monsoon regime. It should be noted that a new Western Disturbance may bring additional rainfall to northwest India starting from August 4, causing increased precipitation in the Himalayas and adjacent plains.According to the IMD\u2019s All India Weather Summary & Forecast Bulletin, extensive to fairly extensive rains are predicted to occur in many areas of northwest, central, eastern, northeastern and southern India up until August 8, including heavy rains in several states and isolated very heavy rains in certain regions.The weather system responsible for the prevailing conditions is that of a low pressure system which continues to prevail over southwest Rajasthan. Accompanying this system are the cyclonic circulation up to 5.8 km above mean sea level, the monsoon trough over north India extending into Manipur, the off-shore trough from south Gujarat to north Kerala and a few upper air cyclonic circulations over Uttarakhand and northwest Bangladesh. Collectively, all these systems continue to support active monsoon conditions over the country.<\/p>\n
