Drier over Gujarat
The Climate Prediction Centre of the US also agrees with this outlook but indicates that Gujarat, east Rajasthan, rest of north-west India, east India and south Kerala would witness deficient rainfall until Monday.
Areas which are shown as receiving excess precipitation are east Madhya Pradesh; Chhattisgarh; north coastal Andhra Pradesh; and the Konkan-to-north Kerala stretch.
The US agency assesses that the week that follows (July 15-21) would bring back the rains to Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and the North-East.
The West Coast too would witness excess rainfall; rain deficit for the week would be spread over Gujarat, entire central India (Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh) and Tamil Nadu.
