India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday stated very heavy rainfall is expected in several states, including Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Goa for the next couple of days. The weather agency also pointed out that a cyclonic circulation due to a low-pressure area over Odisha is likely to trigger rainfall activity for the next couple of days.
IMD said, "Konkan, ghat areas of Madhya Maharashtra and Marathwada will receive heavy rainfall in next 4-5 days. It would be triggered by a low-pressure area over Odisha as well as a cyclonic circulation spread over 7.6 km."
"The off-shore trough is spread from Gujarat coast to Karnataka coast. There is an east-west shear zone, which is contributing to the increasing intensity of the showers," the IMD added.
