The southwest #monsoon has withdrawn from most of #India. However, most of the country is witnessing cloud cover, with some parts (e.g., #Maharashtra) getting thunderstorms due to a low-pressure system. UP, Uttarakhand & Nepal are set to witness a major rain event.

A major heavy rainfall event is expected to affect parts of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and western Nepal between 17 & 19 October as a result of an interaction between a low-pressure system from the Bay of Bengal and a western disturbance. Watch out from flooding and landslides.

The southwest #monsoon has rapidly withdrawn from northern parts of #India. The meteorological conditions suggest further withdrawal from more parts of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and possibly western Bihar by 11 Oct.

#CycloneShaheen has made landfall near Sohar in #Oman. This is for the third time that the Shaheen-Gulab low-pressure system is encountering land in its over 15 days tenure. A preliminary investigation suggests that it has already travelled a great-circle distance of ~6000 km.
