India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced further withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from parts of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab. The withdrawal line has now shifted across Tarn Taran, Sangrur, Jind, Rewari, Tonk, Mahesana, and Porbandar, marking the transition towards the retreating monsoon season. At the same time, fresh weather systems over the Bay of Bengal are expected to bring widespread rainfall over several regions of East, Central, and South India in the coming days.
Monsoon Withdrawal Update
According to IMD, conditions are becoming favourable for the withdrawal of monsoon from more parts of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir within the next 2–3 days.

Weather Systems Over Bay of Bengal
A fresh low-pressure area has formed over the northeast Bay of Bengal, expected to move towards the northwest Bay within 24 hours. Another low-pressure system is likely to form around September 25, intensifying into a depression and crossing the South Odisha–North Andhra Pradesh coasts around September 27. These systems are likely to bring heavy rainfall and thunderstorms to eastern and central India.
