Monsoon Withdrawal Advances to Saturday, Rain Forecast for South and Northeast

The monsoon withdrawal is expected to reach India by Saturday, according to the latest forecasts from the Indian Meteorological Department. Weather services have issued a warning that rainfall will continue in the southern states and the northeastern region, where the monsoon bands are still active. The persistence of rain in these areas is likely to help replenish water reservoirs and support agricultural activities, though it may also raise the risk of localized flooding. The Meteorological Department has urged farmers and local authorities to prepare for the expected showers and to monitor official updates for any changes in the monsoon pattern.
