Monsoon has suddenly tightened its grip across the country. If you are thinking of leaving the house tomorrow i.e. on 23rd August for some important work, then be careful. The Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a serious warning regarding torrential rains and severe thunderstorms in about 25 states of the country. Due to the effect of atmospheric changes and cyclonic circulation, there is a possibility of storm blowing at a speed of 70 to 80 kilometers per hour in many areas. This speed is so fast that it is considered enough to uproot even old and heavy trees.
According to meteorologists, this disaster is not coming due to any one system. In fact, a strong cyclonic circle of upper air is formed over the west-central and north-west Bay of Bengal as well as the coasts of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Along with this, cyclonic pressure is also active in south-west Madhya Pradesh and eastern Uttar Pradesh. Together, these two weather systems are drawing a huge amount of moisture from the sea, due to which dense dark clouds have formed from the plains of the country to the high mountains.
