THE WATER
Withdrawal conditions stay favourable over Rajasthan, Punjab and Saurashtra-Kutch for the next two to three days, while heavy rain concentrates on the peninsula and south-east — Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, coastal Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala and Lakshadweep — with thunderstorms at 40 to 50 km/h gusting to 60 km/h. A strengthening Bay-of-Bengal system is forecast to influence southern, eastern and central India. There is no depression in the Bay or the Arabian Sea. The regional warning sub-pages were not machine-readable this run, so district detail is reported through desks and the national bulletin.
