IN · Published Aug 29, 2026
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reports that an upper air cyclonic circulation persists over north Haryana and its neighbourhood, extending up to 1.5 km above mean sea level.
Additionally, the monsoon trough at mean sea level continues to pass through various regions, including Amritsar, Najibabad, Hardoi, and the centre of a low-pressure area over northeast Madhya Pradesh.

Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall could lead to localised flooding, waterlogging, and disruptions in daily life, particularly in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala, Telangana, and Karnataka. Strong surface winds may pose risks to coastal and interior regions, potentially affecting transportation and infrastructure. Agricultural activities in these areas may also face challenges due to excessive rainfall and wind damage.
