A strengthening system over the Bay of Bengal is forecast to bring widespread rainfall across northwest and central India, prompting weather alerts.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that a Bay of Bengal low-pressure system is intensifying, likely to produce heavy rains over the northwest and central parts of the country. The forecast covers states such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh, with rainfall amounts ranging from moderate to heavy. Local authorities have issued rain advisories and urged residents to stay alert for potential flooding and landslides. Meteorologists expect the system to reach peak intensity by late afternoon tomorrow, after which it may move towards the eastern coast.
