The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy rain across parts of southern India as a weather system moves through the subcontinent, bringing wet conditions to several states over the forecast period. The rainfall is expected to be accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in affected areas, with the intensity varying across different regions.
While southern India braces for the downpour, the northern parts of the country, particularly the Delhi National Capital Region, are expected to experience dry conditions. The capital and its surrounding areas are unlikely to see significant precipitation, even as neighboring regions may witness rainfall activity.
The IMD's forecast indicates that thunderstorms and showers are likely across several other parts of India beyond the southern zone, suggesting a broader pattern of monsoon or weather system activity across the country. Residents in rain-prone areas have been advised to take necessary precautions, though the exact timing and distribution of rainfall may vary from the forecast.
The weather prediction comes as the nation experiences its seasonal weather patterns, with rainfall distribution expected to remain uneven across different geographical zones. The IMD continues to monitor atmospheric conditions and may issue updated forecasts as the weather system develops.
