Several parts of India are likely to see heavy to very heavy rainfall on Friday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) warning of intense rain, thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds across multiple regions. East Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Odisha are among the areas facing very heavy rainfall warnings, while several other states are likely to receive heavy showers.
The weather activity comes as a deep depression over south Odisha and adjoining north coastal Andhra Pradesh moves north-northwestwards and gradually weakens. The system is expected to continue influencing rainfall over parts of central and eastern India.
