The axis of monsoon trough at mean sea level passes through Bikaner, Jaipur, Datia, Satna, Daltenganj, Sagar Island and thence southeastwards to eastcentral Bay of Bengal and extending upto 4.5 Km above mean sea level tilting southward with height.
The land based Low Pressure of three days ago from Jharkhand had tracked Westwards and weakened to an Upper Air Cyclonic Circulation. Currently this Circulation is lying above North Gujarat. Under its influence very good rain occured at many places over South Rajasthan and North Gujarat last night. Parts of Saurashtra received some rain at night early morning.
Forecast: Saurashtra was forecast to receive widespread rainfall during the forecast period 6th to 12th July, however, the rainfall has not been widespread till this morning. Conditions are conducive for rain for Saurashtra today till 12th July, however, it is difficult to quantify the rainfall amounts during these two days becuase it would be very erratic.
The Cyclonic Circulation will track westwards during the next two days towards the Arabian Sea.
