IN · Published Sep 15, 2026
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast intense monsoon activity across India due to a low-pressure area over Southeast Rajasthan and an approaching Western Disturbance.
Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are expected in Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana starting today, 15 September 2026, with peak activity anticipated through 17 September.

Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall may lead to waterlogging, localised flooding, and disruption of daily activities in affected regions. Gusty winds in Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh could pose risks to outdoor activities and infrastructure. Fishermen have been advised to avoid venturing into the northeast Arabian Sea and parts of the Bay of Bengal due to rough sea conditions. The IMD has also warned of potential travel disruptions in areas experiencing very heavy rainfall, particularly in Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim.
