Southwest Monsoon Expected to Return Next Week with Widespread Rainfall Across India
After a subdued July with limited rainfall mainly confined to Himalayan foothills, the southwest monsoon is expected to make a strong comeback next week. The India Meteorological Department forecasts widespread showers and thunderstorms beginning in Northeast India, spreading to East, Central, and North India, including Delhi and the Gangetic plains. This revival, driven by a fresh low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal, is likely to bring relief from heat and humidity but may increase risks of flash floods and landslides in Himalayan regions.
