The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a forecast predicting a blend of rain and thunderstorms across India on September 19, coinciding with the southwest monsoon's gradual withdrawal from certain areas, particularly West Rajasthan. As conditions become favorable for this transition, the IMD is tracking a developing low-pressure area over the Andaman Sea, which is expected to influence weather patterns in the eastern and southern states in the coming days.
In northern India, regions including Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, and parts of Muzaffarabad are anticipated to experience scattered rain and thunderstorms. Similarly, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand will likely encounter comparable weather conditions. The plains of Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Punjab, and West Uttar Pradesh are also under the IMD’s radar for isolated rainfall and thunderstorms on the same day.
- Heavy rainfall predicted for East Rajasthan — The IMD has forecast isolated heavy rainfall for East Rajasthan on September 19.
- Widespread rain in Madhya Pradesh — Central and western regions, including Madhya Pradesh and Vidarbha, are expected to see widespread rain and thunderstorms.
- Active weather in southeastern states — States like Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha are likely to experience active thunderstorms and lightning.
As the monsoon season transitions, the IMD is keenly observing developments, especially in Gujarat, which is expected to receive significant rainfall and thunderstorms. The forecast indicates that the weather will remain dynamic, with rain continuing in southern states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu, along with other regions in the south.
This emerging weather pattern signifies a pivotal moment for India as the monsoon begins to recede from the northwest while remaining active in various other locations. The IMD continues to monitor these developments closely to provide timely updates to the public.
