Posted 8th Afternoon:

Withdrawal of SW Monsoon

  • a) Withdrawal from extreme north-western parts of the country is not attempted before 1st September.
  • b) After 1st September:

The following major synoptic features are considered for the first withdrawal from the western parts of NW India.

  • i) Cessation of rainfall activity over the area for continuous 5 days.
  • ii) Establishment of anticyclone in the lower troposphere (850 hPa and below)
  • iii) Considerable reduction in moisture content as inferred from satellite water vapour imageries and tephigrams.


An Anticyclone (High Pressure Area) likely to form in North West India  from 9th September.

This would signal and create one of the conditions for Withdrawal..thus commencing the parameters. 

Rainfall in West Rajasthan on 7th September: Erinpura/Jawai Dam 15 cms, Nagaur 9 cms, Luni 4 cms, Sardarshahar 3 cms, Jodhpur 2 cms.

No rains expected now.

i) Further withdrawal from the country is declared, keeping the spatial continuity, reduction in moisture as seen in the water vapour imageries and prevalence of dry weather for 5 days.
