The monsoon is pulling back from India's Northeast region, with meteorological agencies warning of rain in several other states.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported that the southwest monsoon is now retreating from the northeastern states. This shift marks the beginning of the seasonal withdrawal that typically starts in late September.
According to the latest forecasts, the retreat is expected to be accompanied by showers in a number of other states across the country. Residents in the affected regions have been advised to stay prepared for intermittent rain.
The IMD has urged farmers and commuters to monitor local weather updates as the monsoon's retreat can influence agricultural activities and travel conditions. Authorities will continue to issue advisories as the situation evolves.
While the monsoon withdraws from the Northeast, the agency expects the overall monsoon season to remain active in other parts of India, ensuring adequate rainfall for the upcoming months.
