“Heavy rainfall at isolated places also very likely over Karnataka, Kerala and Mahe till September 11, over Tamilnadu, Puducherry and Karaikal till September 9 and Isolated heavy to very heavy falls also very likely over Coastal Karnataka on September 7, 9 and 10 while over Kerala and Mahe on September 7 and 8," the IMD said.

The weather bureau also predicted that the western end of monsoon trough at mean sea level lies near normal position and its eastern end lies north of its normal position.

The eastern end of monsoon trough is likely to be north of its normal position or along the foothills of Himalayas during the next five days.

“Fairly widespread to widespread rainfall with thunderstorm and lightning and heavy rainfall at isolated places over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim and northeastern States till 11 September while isolated heavy to very heavy falls are also very likely over Sub-Himalayan West Bengal,Sikkim,Assam and Meghalaya on Monday," the IMD said in its forecast.

The ‘low-pressure area’ being formed over East-central Arabian Sea off Karnataka coast, has been extending upto 3.1 km above mean sea level.

It is very likely to weaken over the same region during the next 24 hours.

An east-west shear zone runs roughly along 13°N across the cyclonic circulation associated with the above low-pressure area at 3.1 km above mean sea level. It is very likely to persist during the next three-four days, the bureau added.
