There is little hope from the cyclonic circle of Bangladesh, otherwise the period of monsoon break will be long.

The rainy season has come to an end in Raipur region. If the path of the cyclonic circulation over Bangladesh remains correct, it may rain in the state after two days, otherwise the period of monsoon break may be prolonged. Right now the wind is entering at a low altitude from the Arabian Sea, so only drizzle is expected in the city.

At present, the western end of the monsoon trough has reached the foothills of the Himalayas and the eastern part has reached Manipur, so the chances of monsoon rains are less. The height of the moist air coming from the western end is up to 3.1 km, so there is no possibility of heavy rains in Jagdalpur, Raipur for the next two days even with local effect. Meteorologist HP Chandra told that there is a cyclonic circulation over Bangladesh, which comes towards the Bay of North-East Bengal, then there can be a possibility of good rains in the state after two days. If the system changes course, widespread rain is not likely over the state till August 15. Right now it will be cloudy due to the effect of western wind, but its effect can be in the form of light to moderate rain at some places. Due to the cessation of rain activity, a slight warmth has also started to be felt. Maximum 12 mm in the last 24 hours. Rain was recorded in Bilaspur district.
