Synoptic Features
A trough persists from south Chhattisgarh to northeast Bangladesh, passing through interior Odisha, Jharkhand, and adjoining south Bihar at about 1.5 Km above mean sea level.
An upper air cyclonic circulation over Jharkhand and adjoining south Bihar has merged with the above trough.
