The retreat of the southwest monsoon is progressing across multiple regions of India, leading to a noticeable reduction in seasonal precipitation in several states. However, weather officials have indicated that rainy conditions are far from over, predicting fresh spells of rain across various parts of the country over the next 24 hours, with isolated heavy downpours likely in regions such as Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka.
Heavy Downpours Forecast for Southern States and Island Regions
According to weather forecasts, heavy rainfall is expected at isolated locations across Kerala and Mahe, alongside Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal on October 10. Atmospheric conditions suggest particularly intense showers over Kerala and Mahe during this timeframe, while Lakshadweep is also slated to receive rain. In addition, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are likely to witness rainfall activity stretching across October 10 and 11.
Low-Pressure Area in Bay of Bengal to Impact Northern Plains
Meteorological projections highlight that a low-pressure area is likely to take shape around October 13 over the southeast Bay of Bengal. This atmospheric system is anticipated to track toward the coastlines of north Tamil Nadu and south Andhra Pradesh. Influenced by changing weather systems, light rain showers are projected for Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Punjab between October 10 and 15.
East Rajasthan is also likely to witness scattered rain on October 10 and 11.
