Weather Update: India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted an extensive increase in monsoon activity across various regions of the country, influenced by several weather systems. A persistent low-pressure area over Gangetic West Bengal, a cyclonic circulation over South Gujarat, and an active monsoon trough are all contributing to this widespread rainfall event. The effects are expected to be felt in East, Central, West, Northwest, Northeast, and Southern India, with varying intensity and distribution in the coming days. Here are the state-wise details.
East & Central India: Extremely Heavy Rainfall
The presence of a low-pressure area moving west-northwestwards across Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh is expected to result in significant rainfall in East and Central India. East Madhya Pradesh is expected to see extremely heavy rainfall today, with continued spells over adjoining states.

With active monsoon systems in play, most regions of India are set to receive consistent rainfall, bringing much-needed relief from summer heat while also raising concerns for waterlogging and landslides in vulnerable areas. The IMD continues to issue region-specific warnings for extremely heavy rainfall, particularly in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and the northeastern states. Farmers, travelers, and residents are advised to stay updated with regional weather alerts and exercise caution during this active monsoon phase.
