Deep depression center formed in the Bay of Bengal: Warning of heavy rainfall in 10 states, including Uttar Pradesh and Bihar

Weather across many parts of the country is preparing for changes. A system formed in the Bay of Bengal is intensifying, and its influence is already being felt in eastern and southern states. It is predicted that this weather system will have the greatest impact on Odisha, where a warning for heavy rainfall has been issued for the next two days.

Meanwhile, clear weather is expected in the Delhi-NCR region on Tuesday, but increased rain and thunderstorms are possible in the latter half of the week. This change will also affect the weather in various parts of Uttar Pradesh.

On Tuesday, September 22, there are no heavy rainfall warnings in Delhi-NCR. According to the IMD update from September 22, there are no warnings for Delhi, Haryana, and Chandigarh from today until September 24. However, the probability of thunderstorms and strong winds is forecasted for September 25–27. Thus, large-scale rains are not expected in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad on Monday, although weather changes are possible by the end of the week.

In Eastern Uttar Pradesh, weather activity may increase from September 24. According to the meteorological department, a thunderstorm and strong wind are possible on September 24, and the period of heavy rains is expected to begin on September 25. The heavy rain and thunderstorm warning is in effect in Eastern Uttar Pradesh from September 26 to 28. In Western Uttar Pradesh, changes may start from September 25, when thunderstorms and strong winds are expected, and heavy rains are forecast from September 26 to 28.

Between September 22 and 25, precipitation is expected in several districts, including Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand, as well as Chamoli, Pithoragarh, Almora, Uttarkashi, and Nainital. The meteorological department notes that by September 25–26, the precipitation zone may expand and reach many places where very heavy rains with thunderstorms are possible. At the same time, light rain is possible in Himachal Pradesh today, and the weather will remain normal in the following days.

The meteorological department warned of extremely heavy rainfall in several districts of Odisha on September 23 and 24. Heavy or very heavy rain may continue on September 25, and rain is expected in some places on September 26. On September 23, a red alert has been issued for Kandhamal, Gajapati, Gangajam, and Puri due to the warning of extremely heavy rainfall exceeding 20 centimeters. On September 24, a red alert has also been set for Kalahandi, Kandhamal, and Rayagada. The weather impact may persist for the next few days, and heavy rains could lead to flooding and other problems in some areas.

The intensification of the weather system in the Bay of Bengal will also affect the sea. Strong winds are expected near the coast of South Odisha and North Andhra Pradesh between September 23 and 24. In the Bay of Bengal, located to the west-northwest, wind speeds may reach about 75 kilometers per hour on September 23. Therefore, fishermen and people going out to sea were advised to exercise extra caution.

Wet weather is also expected in Kerala this week. From September 21 to 25, light or moderate rain is possible in several districts. Heavy rains are possible in some places in Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Idukki, and Thrissur. Residents of areas at risk of flooding or landslides are advised to remain vigilant and follow local authorities' advice.

Thunderstorms and lightning are expected in Assam and Meghalaya on September 22. Heavy rains are possible there from September 23 to 25. In Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim, thunder and lightning and strong winds may also be observed on September 22. Heavy rains are expected from September 23 to 24, and very heavy rains on September 25.

Although the monsoon season usually begins to gradually weaken by mid-September, the weather in North India has changed again. According to the latest forecast from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), heavy rain is expected in Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi-NCR, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand from September 16 to 18. Extensive and significant downpours are predicted in many places, which may be accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning strikes, and strong winds.

This new weather situation arose due to the activation of a new atmospheric system in the final phase of the monsoon. In Delhi-NCR, the weather in recent days has been variable: alternating between bright sunshine and sudden light rains. Even on September 15, the sky could remain cloudy with the possibility of localized precipitation.

The situation will intensify on September 16 and 17. Quite heavy rain is expected in Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, and Punjab, with the possibility of heavy downpours in some areas. This increases the risk of city flooding and transportation disruption.

In the mountainous regions, the impact of the rains may be even more serious. Heavy rains and thunderstorms are forecasted in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh from September 15 to 17. Strong precipitation is also possible in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand in different locations. In the mountains, sudden rains can trigger rising river levels, landslides, and road closures, so tourists and local residents are advised to remain vigilant.

Experts note that while such active periods are not unusual for the end of the monsoon in September, the intensity of rainfall in some areas might be higher this time. Fluctuations in temperature are observed due to high humidity and local weather systems. In cities like Delhi, it has become common for the sun to shine in the morning, followed by clouds after noon.

Heavy rain directly affects agriculture, as crops are currently being cultivated in Punjab and Haryana. Flooding can damage harvests, and there is a risk of inundation in low-lying areas in densely populated regions like Delhi-NCR. Falling trees or power line breaks due to lightning strikes and strong winds are also possible.

According to analysts, these rains are part of the last active stage of the monsoon. The IMD indicated that the monsoon withdrawal process may begin around September 19 in parts of Western Rajasthan. Thus, the rains from September 16 to 18 could be one of the last major downpours of the season, after which a gradual improvement in weather and an increase in temperature is expected.

The meteorological service regularly publishes updates. Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel, especially in mountainous areas. It is necessary to prevent water accumulation in homes and use electrical equipment cautiously. Local administrations should ensure the readiness of drainage systems and emergency services.

Decisions regarding schools, colleges, and offices may be made depending on the weather conditions. Overall, the weather in North India will remain active over the next three days. Although heavy rains can bring relief from heat and humidity, it is crucial to remain vigilant.

The monsoon season continues, and the weather in many parts of the country is preparing for changes. In some areas, cloudiness is expected in the morning, and rain and thunderstorms may begin after noon. The Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings about heavy rainfall.

According to the latest forecasts from the meteorological service, rain is expected to affect several districts of North and Central India on September 14.

In Delhi-NCR, the weather may be variable on Monday. The sky will be covered with clouds throughout the day; very light or light rain is possible in the morning, and a period of rain may resume between day and evening. There is a possibility of weather deterioration with thunderstorms. In Delhi, the maximum temperature on Monday may reach from 32 to 34 degrees, and the minimum from 23 to 25 degrees. The wind blows from the southeast in the morning, and the wind speed may increase during the day. Light rain is also forecasted in some areas of Delhi on September 15.

In Uttar Pradesh, mixed weather is expected on Monday. Small or moderate rains are possible in some parts of the state. Areas of Eastern Uttar Pradesh may receive more precipitation compared to the Western part. Small rains and thunderstorms are also expected in some places in Western Uttar Pradesh. According to the meteorological service, rains may continue in different parts of the state over the next few days, with a probability of sporadic precipitation until September 15, after which rain may persist in some areas.

In Bihar, light or moderate rain is expected in many places on September 14, with thunderstorms possible in some areas. Good rains have fallen in the state over the last 24 hours. 7 centimeters of precipitation were recorded in Tedhgah in Kishanganj. The meteorological service predicts heavy rains in some areas of Bihar from September 15 to 17, so residents of low-lying areas are advised to monitor the weather in the coming days.

In Rajasthan, rain is expected mainly in the eastern districts on September 14. The meteorological service has warned of heavy rainfall in some parts of Eastern Rajasthan. This is due to a low-pressure area over Madhya Pradesh, which is now located over South-West Madhya Pradesh and adjacent Vidarbha. It is predicted that this area will move towards South-East Rajasthan and adjacent districts of Gujarat within the next 24 hours. This may affect the weather in Rajasthan: heavy rains with thunderstorms are possible in Eastern Rajasthan, while small or sporadic rains are expected in Western Rajasthan. During heavy rains and thunderstorms, it is advised to avoid being in open spaces and under trees.

In Himachal Pradesh, the rainy period is expected to continue in various districts on September 14. The meteorological service forecasts rain that may be accompanied by thunderstorms. Roads may become slippery during the rain in mountainous areas, so travelers should exercise caution. The rainy influence is expected to persist in North-West India in the coming days.

In Uttarakhand, a period of rain and thunderstorms is expected on Monday. Rain may start in the morning and repeat in the afternoon. The probability of precipitation is high across the state, with a risk of heavy rain in some places. Residents and tourists in mountainous and landslide-prone areas are advised to be especially vigilant. During heavy rains and thunderstorms, it is best to avoid being in open areas. The weather in the state may remain variable over the next few days.

In Haryana, cloudy and rainy weather is expected on Monday. Rain is possible in the morning, and short-term rain may occur again in some places during the day. The meteorological service also forecasts an increase in rainfall activity in the state in the coming days.

In Chhattisgarh, active monsoon conditions are expected to persist. Rain with thunderstorms is possible in some parts of the state on Monday. According to the meteorological service, rain may continue in several places until September 16, and thunderstorms may persist for some time longer.

The low-pressure area formed over Madhya Pradesh is now over South-West Madhya Pradesh and adjacent Vidarbha. It is expected to continue moving towards South-East Rajasthan and adjacent districts of Gujarat. This will lead to the persistence of rainfall activity in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and neighboring regions.

In Odisha, rain and thunderstorms are expected in several districts on Monday. A warning for heavy rainfall has been issued in some parts of the state. There is a possibility of rain in many districts, with intense precipitation expected in some places.
