Bay of Bengal System to Bring Heavy Rain Before Monsoon Withdrawal
IN · Published Sep 9, 2026
Despite clear skies over large parts of India, the southwest monsoon has not yet formally withdrawn.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has identified an upper-air cyclonic circulation over the north Andaman Sea and adjoining areas at approximately 5.8 km above mean sea level.

Impact & Risks

The brewing weather system in the Bay of Bengal is likely to bring heavy rainfall to Odisha, Gangetic West Bengal, and neighbouring regions. Thunderstorms and lightning may pose risks to residents in these areas, particularly on 9 and 10 September. The rainfall could lead to localised flooding and disruptions in daily activities. Additionally, the system's influence may extend to central and western India, potentially affecting agricultural activities and water management in these regions. Residents in affected areas should remain vigilant for updates and advisories from the IMD.
