Cyclonic circulation brings copious rainfall in western India

Published

Due a cyclonic circulation off the western coast, several districts of western Maharashtra, parts of Gujarat and central India received widespread heavy to very heavy rainfall with multiple stations recording more than 60 mm rains in the 24 hours ending at 8.30 a.m. on Thursday.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the unseasonal rainfall was because of a cyclonic circulation that lay over southeast and adjoining east central Arabian Sea and a trough in lower levels ran from this cyclonic circulation to Kutch in Gujarat coupled with the Western Disturbance that lay as a trough in mid upper tropospheric westerlies in northwest India.

“Today, the cyclonic circulation is still persisting at east Central Arabian Sea and a trough NE Arabian Sea across Kutch along with the Western Disturbance. It is the combination of mixing of these two systems that has brought more than normal rains for this time of the year in Western Maharashtra, Gujarat and southern/western Madhya Pradesh,” IMD’s senior scientist from Pune, K.S. Hosalikar said.

The IMD has already forecast the probability of light to moderate rainfall for Mumbai for Thursday and rest of the places in interior Maharashtra would continue to be cloudy and there could be fog like conditions, especially at places along the Western Ghats.

Rainfall recorded for 24 hours ending at 8.30 a.m. Thursday:

Mumbai and suburbs: Santa Cruz – 91.2 mm, Colaba – 90.2 mm, Byculla 100.5 mm, CSMT 94.5 mm, Juhu Airport 93 mm, Matunga 94.5 mm, Sion 92.5 mm, Vikhroli 88.5 mm, Thane-Belapur 90.2 mm and Dahanu 114.4 mm.
