Hot
weather to persist over NE: June 19
RMC, Borjhar said
that the presence of a low pressure system over the West Central Bay of Bengal
and its adjoining North West Bay of Bengal over South Odisha and Andhra Pradesh
Coast, has led to rise in temperature in the NE region. The low pressure system
and its associated cyclonic circulation, which is extended up to 7.6 km above
the mean sea level, has been preventing flow of moisture from the Bay of Bengal
to the NE region, causing less rainfall activities in the region these days.
This condition is likely to persist for the next 48 to 72 hours, Das said. He,
however, added that local level thunderstorm activities in isolated areas over
the region are expected during this period. Guwahati today recorded a maximum
temperature of 35.4 degree C.

eastern region such as Jharkhand and Orissa in the next 24 to 48 hours as per
the forecast of the Regional Meteorological Department in Alipore.

coasts now lies over west central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal off
South Odisha and North AP coasts as a well-marked low pressure area, according
to a spokesman of the Cyclone Warning Centre (CWC) here. The associated upper
air cyclonic circulation extends up to 7.6 km above mean sea level tilting
south westwards with height. This system may concentrate into a depression
during the next 24 hours. Rain or thundershowers would occur at most places
over coastal Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
