Weather Review

Abstract

A feeble cyclonic circulation existed over Ceylon and the Comorin area on 1-2-1953. On the same day another cyclonic circulation lay over Chota Nagpur and the adjoining parts, and moved to Assam and neighbour-hood on the following day. The feeble cyclonic circulation over the Comorin area moved away to the Maldives area on 3-2-1953. In the mean-while a shallow low appeared over Lower Sind, Kutch and Saurashtra area on the evening of 1-2-1953, moved North East wards and lay over the Punjab (I) and the adjoining North-Rajastan on 4-2-1953 and became unimportant. An anticyclonic circulation lay over Orissa and the adjoining Bay of Bengal on 5-2-1953. This shifted southwards and showed signs of weakening on 7-2-1953. This was replaced by another anticyclonic circulation which lay over Madhya Pradesh and neighbourhood on 9-2-1953 and persisted over the Central parts of the country upto 20-2-1953. On 19-2-1953 a low pressure wave was moving westwards across Ceylon and the Comorin area. This moved away westwards across the South-East Arabian Sea on 21-2-1953. Under its influence fairly widespread thundershowers occurred in Malabar and locally in Tamil Nad from 21-2-1953 to 23—2—1953. The anticyclonic circulation reappeared over North Coastal Andhradesa and neighbourhood on 23-2-1953. A cyclonic cirçulation persisted over East Uttar-Pradesh and the adjoining parts on the last three days of the month. A series of seven Western Disturbances with their associated secondaries passed over the extreme North of the country during this month.
