18th Night Post:

The low pressure  (BB 4) in the Northern Bay of Bengal has formed and lies at sea level as shown.

This has activated the West Coast Trough and also resulted rains in Vidharbh (Aundhi 11 cms,) and M.P ( Pachmarhi 9 cms) and  adjoining regions. 

Moderate-heavy rains to continue over this Region next 4 days.

As the remnant UAC moves West, Gujarat Region (Bharuch) and Saurashtra will receive heavy rains on 22nd & 23rd

Later, not Expected much from this system as it will fizzle out in the Himalayan Region by  23rd.

But the marginal All India deficit will not get worse nor improve next few days.
