‘Fairly widespread to widespread rainfall activity is very likely over Gangetic West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, east Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Vidarbha during next five days.

The national weather agency also said that the ‘break monsoon’ phase in Delhi and adjoining areas in northwest India is likely to continue till August 18.
‘The ‘break monsoon’ phase got extended in the absence of any favourable weather system which would have pulled the monsoon trough from the foothills of the Himalayas towards the plains. However, a low-pressure system is developing in the Bay of Bengal. It will travel in the west direction to south Madhya Pradesh and pull the monsoon trough, leading to rains in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and west Uttar Pradesh from August 19′, said IMD.
The monsoon trough now runs close to the foothills of the Himalayas.
