Weather Update: Monsoon Depression Triggers Heavy Rainfall Alerts in Rajasthan, UP, Bihar, MP, Kerala & More States This Week

India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued multiple warnings of intensified monsoon activity across the country, triggered by several active weather systems. Monsoon trough remains active, while two separate low-pressure systems have strengthened, one has intensified into a depression over the central parts of north Rajasthan, and the other persists as a well-marked low-pressure area over north Jharkhand and adjoining south Bihar. As a result, widespread rain, thunderstorms, and isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall are likely to continue over Rajasthan and parts of East and Central India during the next 2–3 days. Here are the detailed regional forecasts.

Northwest India: Widespread Rainfall with Very Heavy Showers in Parts

Monsoon activity is peaking in Northwest India with the depression over North Rajasthan bringing heavy to very heavy showers. Isolated parts of Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand, East Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh are on high alert.

Thunderstorms and lightning are expected in most areas, accompanied by strong surface winds.

East & Central India: Twin Systems Trigger Active Monsoon

The depression over Jharkhand and adjoining Bihar is expected to bring significant rainfall across Eastern and Central India. Meanwhile, another depression formed earlier over West Bengal has moved inland.

Widespread light to moderate rainfall with thunderstorm activity is expected throughout the period.

West India: Ghat Areas and Konkan Brace for Heavy Rain

With the active monsoon trough and western disturbance, Western India, especially the Konkan coast and Maharashtra's ghats, will continue to receive significant showers.

Moderate showers are expected at several locations across the region for the next five days.

Northeast India: Consistent Rains with Thunderstorms

The Northeast region will continue to experience persistent monsoonal rains with thunderstorms. Specific states may witness heavy spells through the week.

Thunderstorm and lightning activity will accompany the rains across the region.

South India: Kerala, Karnataka to Receive Heavy Rain; Winds Pick Up

Southern India is set for enhanced rainfall activity, particularly over Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Strong surface winds will persist for the next five days.

Strong winds (40–50 kmph) are likely across the coastal and southern peninsular belt.

Delhi-NCR Weather Forecast

Delhi is expected to see cloudy skies, light rain, and cooler-than-normal temperatures over the next four days. Surface wind conditions will vary through the day.

Temperatures will remain below normal by 1–4°C, providing some relief from the July heat.

Apart from rainfall, IMD has warned of hot and humid conditions in isolated pockets of Tamil Nadu, Rayalaseema, and Coastal Andhra Pradesh on 16th July.

India is in the grip of an active monsoon phase, driven by multiple low-pressure systems and western disturbances. The coming days are expected to bring widespread rainfall, cooler temperatures in several states, and occasional weather hazards such as thunderstorms, gusty winds, and possible flooding in vulnerable areas. The IMD urges residents, especially in high-alert zones, to stay updated and exercise caution.
