South-west monsoon persists in September, gradual withdrawal expected
IN · Published Sep 3, 2026
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported that the south-west monsoon remains active across north and central India, with a well-marked low-pressure area over north-east Madhya Pradesh.
This system is expected to weaken by Wednesday evening but will continue to influence weather patterns.

Impact & Risks

The active monsoon conditions are likely to result in continued rainfall across large parts of central and eastern India. This could lead to waterlogging and disruptions in daily life, particularly in areas with saturated soils. The IMD has highlighted the importance of monitoring the monsoon trough's movement and the development of new low-pressure systems, which could delay the withdrawal process. Agricultural activities may benefit from the extended rainfall, but excessive moisture could pose risks to crops in certain regions.
