Meteorologist HP Chandra said that the southwest monsoon is likely to reach Kerala in the next two days, which is expected to accelerate rainfall activities in different parts of the country. Currently, a low pressure area is located in the east-central Arabian Sea, off the north Karnataka and Goa coast, which may intensify further and develop into a depression within the next 24 hours. A trough from this area extends up to South Chhattisgarh at a height of 3.1 to 5.8 km. Apart from this, an east-west trough extends from central Pakistan to north-east Madhya Pradesh via Haryana and Uttar Pradesh at a height of about 0.9 km. Due to the influence of these systems, abundant moisture is arriving in the state from the Bay of Bengal at the lower level.
