Preparatory whirl
A preparatory upper air cyclonic circulation has set up a perch over west-central Bay of Bengal off the Andhra Pradesh coast, an update from India Met Department said.
It would descend to lower levels to set up the ‘low’ that, according to initial indications, would cross the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha coast and move into central India.
The Met has said that conditions are becoming favourable for advance of monsoon into those parts in Vidarbha, Marathwada and Madhya Maharashtra where the rains have not reached as yet.
Some parts of adjoining west Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat may also receive showers as the rain-head churns its way across over the next three to four days, the Met said.
