Monsoon just took over the entire south and east — Bihar and Odisha just joined the map
IN · Published Jun 16, 2026
The monsoon has now fully encompassed the southern and eastern regions of India, with Bihar and Odisha officially joining the monsoon map.
This significant advancement is driven by a low-pressure system and the deepening of the monsoon trough, leading to widespread rainfall.

The IMD has issued warnings for heavy to very heavy rainfall across several districts in both Bihar and Odisha, as well as in neighboring states. This intensified precipitation is likely to lead to localized waterlogging, especially in urban areas, and could impact river levels. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have advised residents in vulnerable areas to remain vigilant and follow safety guidelines. The focus is now on managing the increased water flow and ensuring public safety during this active monsoon phase.
