National Weather Activities
As per Skymet, conditions are becoming favorable for the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from western Rajasthan and Gujarat's Kutch region in the next 2 to 3 days. The monsoon trough at sea level will extend from Bikaner, Sagar, Jamshedpur, and Digha, curving towards southeast until the east-central Bay of Bengal. A cyclonic circulation area persists over northeastern Rajasthan.
Furthermore, another cyclonic circulation exists over the west-central and adjoining southwest Bay of Bengal from 3.1 to 5.8 km above sea level. An upper cyclonic circulation area is expected to develop over the northern Andaman Sea within the next 24 hours, likely moving northwest. This might lead to the formation of a low-pressure area around September 23 over the northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal.
