Current Weather Conditions in India - August 2024

As we move through the latter part of August 2024, India is experiencing a mix of weather patterns that reflect the diverse climatic regions across the country. The monsoon season is still in full swing, bringing significant rainfall to many parts of the nation, though the intensity and distribution vary widely.

 Northern India:

In the northern states, including Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana, the monsoon has been moderately active. While these regions have received regular showers, they are experiencing relatively cool and humid conditions. Occasional thunderstorms and heavy downpours are expected in the coming days, particularly in the Himalayan foothills, which may lead to localized flooding and landslides.

 Central and Western India:

Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra are witnessing heavy to very heavy rainfall due to the active monsoon trough over central India. The cities of Mumbai and Pune, in particular, have been experiencing continuous rainfall, causing waterlogging in some areas. Farmers in these regions are benefiting from the ample rain, which is crucial for the Kharif crops.

 Southern India:

In the southern states like Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, the monsoon has been relatively subdued, with rainfall being below average in some areas. However, coastal regions of Kerala and Karnataka are likely to receive scattered heavy rainfall in the coming days due to the strengthening of westerly winds. The dry spell in Tamil Nadu is expected to continue, impacting water availability in the region.

 Eastern India:

The eastern states, including West Bengal, Odisha, and Bihar, have seen a mix of heavy rains and dry spells. Kolkata and surrounding areas are expected to receive more rain as the monsoon trough remains active. The situation in Odisha is closely monitored due to the possibility of cyclonic developments in the Bay of Bengal, which could bring intense rainfall to the region.

 Northeastern India:

Northeastern states, known for their heavy monsoon rains, continue to receive substantial precipitation. Assam and Meghalaya are experiencing frequent showers, with the potential for landslides in hilly areas. Flooding remains a concern in the Brahmaputra River basin, where water levels are rising.
