The India Meteorological Department warns that a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal will trigger monsoon rains across eastern and central Indian states on Friday.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather advisory indicating that a low‑pressure system moving in from the Bay of Bengal will bring monsoon rain to several eastern and central states on Friday. Forecasts point to moderate to heavy showers beginning in the early afternoon and lasting into the night.
States expected to experience the most significant rainfall include Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and parts of Uttar Pradesh. The IMD has cautioned that localized flooding and water‑logging could occur, especially in low‑lying and river‑basin areas.
Authorities have advised commuters to exercise caution on highways and rail routes, as reduced visibility and slippery roads may affect travel. Farmers in the affected regions are reminded to protect standing crops and prepare for possible water‑related challenges.
The monsoon system is part of the seasonal advance of the southwest monsoon, which typically intensifies across the Indian subcontinent during June and July. Residents are urged to stay updated with local weather bulletins for any further developments.
