The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted widespread rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning across various regions of India until 19 September.
Northwest India, including Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, and Punjab, is expected to experience fairly widespread rainfall during 15-17 September.

Impact & Risks

The widespread rainfall is expected to impact daily life in several regions, including transportation and agricultural activities. Thunderstorms and lightning may pose risks to safety, particularly in areas such as Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Meghalaya. The monsoon deficit could exacerbate water shortages and affect crop yields, especially in regions heavily reliant on monsoon rains for irrigation. Flooding and waterlogging may occur in areas receiving heavy rainfall, potentially disrupting local infrastructure and services.
