Cyclonic Circulation Over Bay of Bengal: Heavy Rainfall Expected in Coastal States

The cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal remains persistent potentially leading to cyclonic storm effects along coastal areas. Meanwhile the India Meteorological Department (IMD) reports that the monsoon is reactivating in several states across the country. Here’s a detailed weather update on what to expect in the coming days.

Cyclonic Circulation in the Bay of Bengal

According to the latest updates from the IMD the low-pressure cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal is still present creating the possibility of cyclonic effects especially in coastal regions. This weather phenomenon could trigger strong winds and heavy rainfall in nearby states. The IMD predicts that during the first week of October several states could witness winds reaching speeds of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour accompanied by heavy rains.

While monsoon rains have officially withdrawn from the capital city of Delhi raising concerns about a potential rise in temperatures many parts of the country are gearing up for more rainfall and stormy conditions. Let’s explore the states that are likely to experience heavy rainfall and how it could impact local conditions.

States Likely to Experience Rainfall

Based on the IMD’s recent forecast heavy rainfall is expected to hit various states this week including West Bengal Uttar Pradesh Bihar Rajasthan Jharkhand Uttarakhand Himachal Pradesh Jammu & Kashmir Assam Meghalaya Tamil Nadu Kerala and Karnataka. Bihar in particular could witness winds of up to 40 kilometers per hour. Furthermore the states of Assam and Meghalaya are under a heavy rain alert for October 2nd and 3rd with the possibility of severe downpours.

Other northeastern states like Arunachal Pradesh Nagaland Manipur Mizoram and Tripura are also predicted to receive rainfall between October 2nd and 4th. These weather conditions could lead to a series of challenges particularly in areas prone to flooding.

Nepal’s heavy rains have also contributed to the situation in India. Overflowing rivers like the Gandak and Kosi are flooding districts in Bihar with over 12 districts already submerged. On top of that the release of water from the Kosi Barrage has further intensified the threat of flooding in several regions forcing rescue operations in affected areas.

No Rainfall Expected in Delhi

For residents of Delhi-NCR the weather is expected to remain dry with no rain in the forecast. The IMD has confirmed that the capital will not see any rainfall over the next few days and temperatures are likely to rise making conditions hotter and more humid. Clear skies are expected until at least October 5th and the maximum temperature for today is likely to hover around 35°C while the minimum is expected to be 25°C.

While Delhi's skies had some light clouds in the morning and there was a slight breeze there is no chance of rain. The post-monsoon period is often accompanied by increasing temperatures and residents should prepare for rising heat and uncomfortable humidity levels in the coming days.

Rainfall Alert in West Bengal

On the other hand West Bengal is preparing for a bout of heavy rainfall. The IMD has issued warnings that several districts in the state could experience intense downpours until October 10th. Cyclonic activity over the Bay of Bengal is expected to further influence weather conditions in the region prompting concerns about possible flooding and disruption to daily life.

In Maharashtra the rains that recently hit the state disrupted life in various areas and the forecast predicts another round of showers across multiple cities in the coming week. Local residents should brace themselves for potential waterlogging traffic issues and delays due to the weather.

Cyclonic Circulation’s Impact on Coastal Areas

The low-pressure system and the cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal continue to stir concerns among coastal states. With heavy rainfall and gusty winds on the horizon authorities in these regions have issued warnings and are taking precautionary measures to minimize the damage caused by these weather patterns.

For those living along the coastlines it is crucial to stay updated with weather reports and take necessary precautions especially in low-lying areas that are vulnerable to flooding. Coastal states such as Odisha Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal need to remain on high alert for potential storm surges or worsening weather conditions as the cyclonic activity unfolds.

States on Flood Alert

Apart from the rainfall many states are on flood alert due to rising river levels. In Bihar the heavy rainfall in neighboring Nepal has caused rivers to overflow inundating many districts. The Kosi and Gandak rivers in particular have breached their danger marks leading to flooding in vast areas. The situation in flood-prone districts is particularly concerning as these areas are struggling to cope with the deluge.

Local authorities have initiated rescue operations in flood-hit areas but residents must remain vigilant. Those living near the banks of the rivers have been advised to evacuate to higher ground or move to designated relief camps. The state government is coordinating efforts to ensure that relief reaches those affected as quickly as possible.

Weather Outlook for the Coming Days

As we move deeper into October it’s clear that the weather patterns will continue to fluctuate with some states seeing more rain while others experience drier conditions. While northern parts of India such as Delhi may not see rain in the immediate future eastern and southern regions should prepare for more stormy weather.

Residents in states like Assam Meghalaya Bihar and West Bengal should remain alert to possible flooding especially in low-lying areas. As always it’s vital to monitor updates from the IMD and other official sources to stay informed about the latest developments and take appropriate action to stay safe.
