Issued:23 July 2026
Valid:Next 24 Hours
Synoptic Situation
Well marked cyclonic circulation persists over northwest India while the monsoon trough extends westwards towards southeastern Pakistan
A cyclonic circulation is evident over the northeast Arabian Sea adjoining Kutch/Saurashtra region, resulting in strong south to southwesterly moist inflow from the Arabian Sea into Sindh and adjoining southern Pakistan.
Moderate to strong monsoon currents are penetrating Sindh, Southern Punjab, Northeastern Balochistan, Parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and likely to strengthen within next 12-24 hours.
Enhanced nexus formation of cyclonic circulation over Madhya Pradesh with cyclonic circulation over southeast Sindh,bringing monsoon trough southwestward in to Sindh combined with daytime heating and atmospheric instability, is likely to trigger widespread thunderstorm development.
