Isolated extremely heavy falls (≥ 20 cm) is also very likely over Konkan & Goa (including Mumbai) and Madhya Maharashtra on 03rd & 04th July; Gujarat region on 04th & 05th July, 2020.
- A cyclonic circulation lies over East Uttar Pradesh & neighbourhood and a north-south trough runs from East Uttar Pradesh to East Vidarbha in lower tropospheric levels.
