Withdrawal of south-west monsoon briefly stalled on Monday over Central and East India, with the retreating edge stretching in an arc through Supaul; Ranchi; Raipur; Brahmapuri; Parbhani; Baramati and Harnai, and the western end nestling in Maharashtra.

Winds over the South Peninsula are showing a growing inclination to turn from south-westerly to easterly, the defining signal of the transition to the north-east monsoon.

The missing piece is the Bay of Bengal, where the wind regime must turn decisively before the north-east monsoon can properly take hold.
