“The Western Disturbance now seen as a cyclonic circulation over north Pakistan & neighborhood in middle tropospheric level and an induced cyclonic circulation lies over Southwest Rajasthan & neighborhood in lower tropospheric level. There are Jet stream winds of order up to 130 Knots along Latitude 28°N over the Indian Region in upper tropospheric levels,” said the weather agency.

Meanwhile, another active Western Disturbance is now seen as a trough in middle and upper tropospheric westerlies along Long. 62°E to the north of Lat. 24°N. This disturbance is very likely to move slowly eastwards and intensify further along with high moisture feeding from the Arabian Sea over northwest India at lower & middle tropospheric levels mainly between January 23 and 27.
