The India Meteorological Department has issued a forecast of heavy rainfall affecting the eastern, central and southern parts of the country in the coming days.
The India Meteorological Department released its latest monsoon outlook, indicating that a broad band of low pressure will bring intense rain over large swathes of eastern, central and southern India.
The department warned that the rainfall could be widespread and persistent, with the potential to cause waterlogging, flooding in low‑lying areas and disruption to transport networks.
Authorities in the affected states have been advised to activate disaster‑management protocols and keep residents informed, while farmers are urged to take precautionary measures to protect crops.
The forecast arrives as the country approaches the peak of the monsoon season, and meteorologists will continue to monitor the system for any changes.
