The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rainfall warning for several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Delhi, for September 12. A low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal is driving this volatile weather pattern.

  • Rainfall expected to persist in UP and Bihar until September 17.
  • Delhi to experience light showers and a dip in temperature.
  • Low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal is the primary trigger.
  • Alerts issued for Rajasthan, Odisha, and Gujarat.

According to the latest forecast from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a significant portion of the country will witness continued rainfall on Saturday, September 12. From North India to the Eastern and Western states, the weather department has advised citizens to remain cautious as moderate to heavy rainfall is expected, particularly in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

Heavy Rainfall Forecast for Uttar Pradesh and Bihar

In Uttar Pradesh, both Eastern and Western regions are expected to see cloudy skies with thunderstorms and rain. Recent data shows 8 cm of rain in Kaimganj and 7 cm in Bijnor, indicating a strong moisture influx. Similarly, Bihar is bracing for intermittent rains from September 11 to 17.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that the formation of a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal has disrupted the typical monsoon withdrawal pattern, leading to sudden heavy precipitation in the plains. While this may benefit some late-season crops, the risk of waterlogging in agricultural fields poses a significant threat to farmers' livelihoods.

"The convergence of low-pressure systems with high moisture levels is creating intense precipitation events across North and Central India, potentially straining urban drainage infrastructure."

Weather Outlook for Delhi, Rajasthan, and Other States

The national capital, Delhi, is expected to have pleasant weather on Saturday, though light showers will likely lower the daytime temperature. The maximum temperature is predicted to hover between 30-32°C. In Rajasthan, thunderstorms are likely in the western parts until September 16, while eastern Rajasthan may see showers on the 12th and 13th.

State/City Predicted Impact Expected Temp (Max/Min)
Delhi Light Rain, Pleasant Weather 32°C / 24°C
Bihar Heavy Rain, High Winds (30-40 kmph) N/A
Uttar Pradesh Moderate to Heavy Rain N/A

Furthermore, heavy rain is anticipated in Odisha, while the Konkan-Goa and Marathwada regions of Maharashtra are also on alert. Gujarat is expected to see an increase in rainfall from September 12, and scattered showers are predicted for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in South India.

Did You Know?: A low-pressure area is created when warm air rises rapidly, leaving a void that is filled by cooler, moist air from surrounding areas, which then condenses to form clouds and precipitation.
