The low-pressure area over the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh and adjoining areas has weakened and merged with the monsoon axis. This axis of monsoon trough runs through Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal to Assam across the northern part of Bangladesh.

One of its associated troughs extends up to North Bay. And monsoon is fairly active over Bangladesh and moderate over North Bay.

However, day and night temperatures may remain nearly unchanged over the country.
