As the monsoon slowly withdraws from India, many states are still facing heavy rains, causing difficulties for people.
Landslides and cloudbursts have caused severe damage in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, while Maharashtra is seeing disruptions in daily life due to heavy rainfall.
Several districts in Rajasthan are also experiencing rain as the monsoon retreats, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
A new low-pressure area is expected to form around September 25 in the east-central and northeastern Bay of Bengal, near the Myanmar-Bangladesh coasts.
This could bring heavy rain to Odisha from September 23–26 and isolated rainfall in Chhattisgarh, coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Yanam from September 24–26.
Northeastern India may continue to see heavy rainfall in isolated areas for the next 4–5 days.
