The India Meteorological Department's August 4 bulletin forecast heavy to very heavy rain across large parts of India on August 5, with the most intense spells, including isolated extremely heavy rainfall, expected in Assam and Meghalaya. A similar heavy to very heavy alert was issued for Arunachal Pradesh, with isolated heavy to very heavy showers likely in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Heavy rain was forecast for Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand, Gangetic West Bengal, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim. Konkan, Goa, parts of Maharashtra, Kerala, coastal and interior Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh were also forecast heavy showers, and thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds were expected across the southern peninsula. A monsoon trough was running from Anupgarh through Delhi, Shahjahanpur and Basti to Nagaland, with several cyclonic circulations active over north India and the Bay of Bengal.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The bulletin lists affected states and rainfall intensity but gives no specific timings, rainfall amounts or local advisories, so its practical value for any one reader is limited without checking the IMD's own detailed forecast. A monsoon trough and several cyclonic circulations were active across the region at the same time. The IMD's own later bulletins for August 5 would record whether the isolated extremely heavy rainfall it forecast for Assam and Meghalaya actually fell.
