Two back-to-back low pressure areas over north Bay of Bengal are expected to revive the monsoon and cause widespread rainfall over South Interior Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, East Rajasthan, West Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand during the next one week, the  IMD said on Thursday. 

Thereafter, rains will continue over North-West, Central and East India. These should bring down the overall deficit, which as on July 12 stood at 8 per cent less than normal. The revival in rains should also aid in sowing of kharif crops, which has been less than last year so far mainly due to a mild break in monsoon in June.
