IMD Forecasts Heavy Rain Across Northern and Central India Through September 11
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts heavy to very heavy rainfall across northern and central India from September 5 to 11, driven by a low-pressure system over Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. States including Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Delhi-NCR, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh are expected to experience isolated heavy rain and flash flood risks, especially in Himalayan regions. Rain intensity is predicted to gradually decrease in some areas by September 7, while widespread rainfall continues in others.
