A well-marked low-pressure system currently located over western Jharkhand is moving west-northwestwards, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
This system is expected to bring heavy to very heavy rainfall to parts of Chhattisgarh, eastern Madhya Pradesh, eastern Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.

Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall and thunderstorms could lead to waterlogging, traffic disruptions, and potential damage to infrastructure in affected areas. Lightning and gusty winds pose additional risks, particularly in Odisha and southern regions, where wind speeds may reach 40-50 km/h. States under the orange alert, such as Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, are at higher risk of flooding and landslides. Yellow alert regions, including Bihar and Jharkhand, may also face moderate disruptions due to rainfall and winds.
