Posted Sunday Night:
Come September ! 
(Only significant rain events elaborated).
Monday 1st September, the current UAC moves West/ North-Westwards and brings Heavy Rain to West MP, Eastern Gujarat region, South Gujarat Coast and parts of North Central Maharashtra (Aurangabad, Jalgaon, Akola, Nasik). 
Rains reduce in Konkan.

Monday Night into Tuesday 2nd, Showers increase in Coastal Saurashtra.

Monday and Tuesday due to moisture inflow, patches of rain are possible in North Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, and Delhi NCR.

Tuesday Night/Wednesday 3rd, rains move into rest of Gujarat including Kutch. Increase in rains in NW India States. 

On 2nd September, from the pulse from the erstwhile UAC, AS-1 forms as a Low near the West Gujrat/Pakistan border. Kutch and adjoining Sindh may get heavy showers in patches.

Pakistan:
2nd September, Rains also move into South and SE Sindh, Upper Sindh, adjoining Pak Punjab, almost covering roughly the Eastern half of Pakistan. ( Sukkur, Hydreabad, Nawabshah included).
Punjab cities ( Lahore, Gujrat, Multan ) can get thunder showers.

Thunder Showers in Karachi Tuesday Night through Wednesday. There is a possibility of heavy rains on Saturday next, but we wait before confirming.
Heavy Falls in MP on all days.

Delhi NCR: The odd shower on Monday in some patches. Rains increase on Wednesday and regions may get around 20-25 mms.

Mumbai: Reduced rain intensity on Monday, with some evening showers could be heavy. Rains around 35 mms.
Lessening intensity on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Pune: another Thunder shower on Monday, and some decrease in rains from Tuesday.


No significant rains developing around Hyderabad.
Seems that the axis shifting South has forced the Bay winds to push eastwards into North India plains. This may delay the earlier announced formation of BB-8.

Sunday Afternoon: BB-7 as a Low has almost fizzled out...UAC remains intact..
As expected, a rainy Sunday in Mumbai with frequent showers and occasional thunder...Vagaries reading from 08.30 am -2.30 pm : 61 mms.

Posted Friday 29th Evening:

BB-7 !...Thats the Low now of the AP/Odisha coast. The system has an upper air circulation also, upto the 500 level. 
Seeing the current situation, system would expect a weak low at sea level to track West/North-West and weaken, along the track as the sea level trough comes Southwards. The UAC associated with it remains strong and effective..all along a Southern Path.
The vagaries Map shows the two fold Track


The pulse from the system, gives rise to another UAC, West of Gujarat by Monday, 1st September. 
AS-1 ( at sea level) may form by 2nd and travel West, and bring rains to Sindh Coast and South Pakistan from Tuesday 2nd ....will update on Sunday.
