According to the IMD, the low-pressure area over north Odisha and adjoining Jharkhand and Gangetic West Bengal has now shifted over Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining Jharkhand and north Odisha. The associated cyclonic circulation extends up to 5.8 km above mean sea level and is expected to weaken gradually over the next 24 hours.
The monsoon trough currently extends from Amritsar through Chandigarh, Shahjahanpur, Basti, Patna and the low-pressure area before reaching the northeast Bay of Bengal.
Meanwhile, a trough extending from the cyclonic circulation to the east-central Arabian Sea across Chhattisgarh, Vidarbha, Madhya Maharashtra and south Gujarat has become less marked, indicating weakening weather activity.
