The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast heavy rainfall across several parts of the country over the next few days, with Gujarat expected to receive the heaviest showers. Heavy to very heavy rain is also likely in Rajasthan, while Delhi-NCR, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Assam, Meghalaya and other northeastern states are expected to receive widespread rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds.
The weather department attributed the active monsoon conditions to a low-pressure area over southeast Rajasthan and adjoining Madhya Pradesh, along with the monsoon trough and cyclonic circulations.
