Meteorological agencies predict that heavy rainfall will persist across South India until 23 October. Delhi is expected to remain dry during this period.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a forecast indicating that heavy rainfall will continue across the southern states of India until 23 October. The sustained monsoon activity is expected to bring significant rainfall to regions such as Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh.
In contrast, the national capital Delhi is projected to stay dry as the monsoon trough shifts northward. Meteorologists say the dry spell will persist throughout the period of heavy rain in the south.
The prolonged rainfall is likely to affect agriculture, transport, and daily life in the affected states. Authorities have urged farmers to take precautions and have advised commuters to check weather updates before traveling.
