The subdued rainfall in peninsular India could negatively affect agricultural activities, particularly in regions dependent on September rains for soil moisture and crop growth. Farmers may face challenges in preparing for the winter cropping season if the dry spell persists. However, the expected development of a Bay of Bengal system could bring relief to eastern and northeastern parts of the country. In the meantime, areas in north and central India influenced by the low-pressure system and monsoon trough are likely to experience continued rainfall, which may lead to localised waterlogging or disruptions.
