Indian Metrological Department said that a cyclonic circulation lies over east-central Arabian Sea and extends up to mid-tropospheric level tilting south-westwards with height.  Two cyclonic circulations in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal each will bring in heavy rainfall in much of central and peninsular India over the next two days, the IMD said on Sunday.

It is very likely to persist during next 3-4 days, and under its influence, fairly extensive to widespread light to moderate rainfall with isolated heavy rainfall is very likely over southern peninsular India during next 5 days and over Maharashtra during next two days. Isolated very heavy rainfall is very likely over Kerala and Mahe between October 12 and 14, the IMD release said.

Meanwhile, conditions are becoming favourable for further withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from some more parts of Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, most parts of M.P, Jharkhand, Bihar, and some parts of Maharashtra, Odisha and West Bengal during next two days, the India IMD said in a statement.

The first cyclonic circulation lies over north Andaman Sea and its neighbourhood. Under its impact, a Low-Pressure Area is very expected to form over the same region during next 36 hours. It is likely to become more marked and move west-north-westwards towards south Odisha-north Andhra Pradesh coasts during subsequent 4-5 days, the weather department.
