IMD warns of deep depression likely to trigger heavy rains in central, western India

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has identified a deep depression forming over the Arabian Sea that is expected to move towards central and western India. The agency warns that the system could bring extremely heavy rainfall to the affected regions, raising concerns about potential flooding and waterlogging.

According to the IMD’s latest bulletin, the depression is likely to intensify as it approaches the Indian coastline, with rainfall estimates ranging from 200 to 300 millimetres in some areas. Meteorologists advise local authorities to prepare for possible disruptions to transportation and to monitor river levels closely.

Residents in the forecast zones are urged to stay updated through official weather alerts and to take precautionary measures against sudden downpours. The department will continue to monitor the system and issue further advisories as the situation develops.
