India's southwest monsoon remains 13% below normal with significant regional variation. States like Haryana, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, and Karnataka face large deficits, while Odisha and Jammu and Kashmir have above-normal rainfall. A low-pressure system over northeast Madhya Pradesh is sustaining active monsoon conditions in central and eastern India, with forecasts predicting heavy to very heavy rain in these areas through late August. Northern and northeastern regions, including Delhi-NCR and the Northeast, are also expected to receive scattered to isolated heavy rainfall in the coming days.
