Heavy Rain Alert Issued for North and East India
IN · Published Sep 7, 2026
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings for heavy rainfall across several states in North and East India on Tuesday, 8th September
Active monsoon conditions are being driven by a low-pressure area over central Uttar Pradesh, a monsoon trough, two western disturbances affecting the Himalayan region, and cyclonic circulations over northeast Bihar and parts of Assam. States such as East Madhya Pradesh, East Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, and northeastern regions are expected to experience isolated heavy rainfall. Meanwhile, rainfall activity in southern India is likely to remain subdued, with hot and humid conditions persisting in Kerala. Strong surface winds of 30–40 kmph have also been forecast for Telangana.

Impact & Risks

Heavy rainfall could lead to localised flooding, waterlogging, and disruptions in daily life across affected regions, particularly in East Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and northeastern states. Exceptionally heavy rainfall exceeding 20 cm has already been recorded in parts of West Uttar Pradesh, including Bareilly. Strong winds in Telangana may pose risks to outdoor activities and infrastructure. Residents in rain-prone areas are advised to remain vigilant as multiple weather systems interact during the closing phase of the southwest monsoon.
