The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts intensified monsoon activity across India starting July 27, with heavy to extremely heavy rainfall expected in states including Odisha, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and parts of northern and northeastern India.

Authorities have issued alerts for thunderstorms, lightning, strong winds, and potential flooding, advising residents and fishermen to remain cautious. The monsoon revival follows a period of rainfall deficit in several regions.
