Extremely heavy downpours have already been recorded in parts of West Madhya Pradesh, with several other regions including Gujarat, Bihar, Odisha, and Arunachal Pradesh witnessing heavy to very heavy rainfall in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon is steadily advancing, with favorable conditions for its further progress into northern parts of the country, including Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh, in the next two days.
East & Central India: Intense Showers Expected
Multiple weather systems including a cyclonic circulation over south Uttar Pradesh and a trough extending to Bay of Bengal are likely to bring significant rainfall activity across the region.
