Monsoon and Weather Systems

The Northern Limit of the Southwest Monsoon is advancing steadily, currently extending through significant locations such as Mumbai, Ahilyanagar, Adilabad, Bhawanipatna, and Puri, reaching Balurghat and parts of northern India near the 30°N latitude. A notable Western Disturbance, characterized by a trough in the middle and upper tropospheric levels at approximately 5.8 km above sea level, is influencing weather patterns north of 24°N along longitude 80°E. Furthermore, an upper air cyclonic circulation persists over central Pakistan and adjacent northwest Rajasthan at lower atmospheric levels. These weather systems are collectively impacting rainfall and temperature across northern and western India.
