Southwest Monsoon Update: The Well Marked Low in East India intensified into a Monsoon Depression yesterday and now lies over East Central India.  It is expected to become a Low Pressure once again as the land transit has its effect.

Under the influence of the Depression heavy rains are expected to continue in parts of Chhatisgarh while parts of Maharashtra & MP are expected to get heavy rains today with one or two places getting very heavy rains.  Vidharba & Marathwada region would get much needed rains as a respite from the drought conditions prevailing over Western Maharashtra areas. West Coast will continue to enjoy a good week of rains thanks to the moisture migration over the region.
