18. The next 20 days forecast indicates that  1) Rainfall, MSLP and other charts indicate that the monsoon activity will be largely subdued over Indian landmass for next 20 days except foothills of Himalayas. Continuous rainfall along the foothills may increase the water level in the rivers of North India.  2) The forecast during July indicates that there will be absence of large scale monsoon system resulting in below normal rainfall during July.  3) MISO associated convective activity is expected to form over Indian ocean after 10-15 days and likely to move towards Central India around 25 th July.  4) MJO associated strong convection over Western Pacific may weaken after 15 days and may enhance the convective activity over Indian land after 20 days.
