UditVani, Jamshedpur : A significant surge in monsoonal activity is set to impact Jharkhand over the next few days, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting spells of heavy rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in several parts of the state through July 6.
The active monsoon phase is driven by a combination of low-pressure systems and a well-marked cyclonic circulation over the region.

Meteorological Synopsis
The monsoon trough at mean sea level currently extends through Bikaner, Banasthali, Shivpuri, Siddhi, Chaibasa, Digha, and further southeastward to the East-Central Bay of Bengal.
A cyclonic circulation is persisting over South Jharkhand and its neighbourhood, extending vertically up to 5.8 km above mean sea level, and exhibiting a southward tilt with height—a classic sign of monsoon strengthening.
An upper air trough also runs from Southeast Rajasthan to Northwest Bay of Bengal, cutting across Central Madhya Pradesh, North Chhattisgarh, and the Gangetic region of West Bengal, including the cyclonic zone over Jharkhand.
