The Indian Meteorological Department has said that western India will receive heavy rainfall.Mumbai: The Indian Meteorological Department in Mumbai has issued warnings of cyclonic circulations over the northeast Arabian Sea off north Gujarat coast at upper levels and the east-central Arabian Sea off south Maharashtra coast in a higher level.In an official statement, weather department in Mumbai said, "The off-shore trough at mean sea level from south Gujarat coast to north Kerala coast now runs from south Maharashtra Coast to Kerala coast.

This situation is very likely to cause heavy to very heavy rainfall along the west coast of India and parts of Gujarat on day 1.""With the northward shifting of the monsoon trough, weakening of the off-shore trough is likely, leading to a reduction in rainfall amounts over the west coast.

The significant rainfall area is likely to be the southern peninsular region only on day 2," it added.Last week, the India Meteorological Department, Mumbai had issued warnings of cyclonic circulations over north and south Konkan and adjoining south Gujarat.Warnings of isolated heavy to very heavy rain were issued over Konkan and Goa, while isolated heavy rain warnings were issued for Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Marathwada, Coastal Karnataka, and Kerala.Mumbai experienced heavy rainfall earlier this month, causing severe water-logging and disruption of local train services.Heavy rainfall was also witnessed in parts of Gujarat.(This story has not been edited by TheIndianSubcontinent staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)
