IMD Forecasts Heavy Rain Across Central, Eastern, and Western India Amid Monsoon Deficit
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts heavy to very heavy rainfall on September 11 in eastern and central India, particularly Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and coastal Andhra Pradesh, driven by a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. Widespread rain is expected across central, eastern, and western India through mid-September, with thunderstorms and gusty winds in some regions. Northwest India will see isolated to scattered showers. The monsoon season's cumulative rainfall remains 15% below normal, impacting water security and agriculture.
