Southwest Monsoon Withdrawal Begins as Rainfall Persists Across India
India's southwest monsoon is entering its withdrawal phase, starting around September 19 in parts of West Rajasthan, but active weather systems continue to bring rainfall across northern, eastern, and southern regions. A low-pressure area is expected to develop over the Bay of Bengal, potentially increasing rain in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. Thunderstorms, gusty winds, and heavy rain are forecast in several states, while Kerala remains hot and humid. The transition to the post-monsoon season will be gradual with varying regional impacts.
