Bhubaneswar:

A cyclonic circulation over north interior Odisha and neighbourhood has been formed, under the influence of which conditions are becoming favourable for further advance of southwest monsoon into some more parts of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh and some parts of Uttarakhand around June 23, said the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

"A cyclonic circulation extending upto mid-tropospheric level lies over north interior Odisha and neighbourhood. A trough runs from north Punjab to northwest Bay of Bengal in the lower tropospheric levels and it is likely to shift southwards during next three days," IMD stated in it's bulletin.

As a result, strengthening of easterly wind and high moisture from the Bay of Bengal is very likely over north India during the same period.

Conditions are becoming favourable for further advance of southwest monsoon into some more parts of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh and some parts of Uttarakhand around June 23; into entire Western Himalayan Region, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi, most parts of Punjab, remaining parts of Arabian Sea, Gujarat state, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh and some parts of Rajasthan during 24th and 25th June.
