The Weather Department has predicted heavy rainfall in many regions of India that are most likely to be isolated heavy rainfall till the 20th of August.

IMD predicted that there would be light/moderate rainfalls with isolated heavy rain showers in West Bengal and Sikkim on August 18 and in several districts of Uttarakhand till August 20. Similarly in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand, the same weather condition would prevail.

The IMD forecasted saying “surface runoff/Inundation may occur at some fully saturated soils & low-lying areas over AoC as shown in the map due to expected rainfall occurrence in next 24 hours” as a clear indication of upcoming heavy rainfall in parts of Bihar, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura on the 8th of August. In addition to this, the weather office even predicted commonly cloudy skies in Central India with light showers or drizzle.

Heavy rainfalls are predicted to occur over the isolated parts of Uttar Pradesh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, and West Bengal. Isolated severe downpours are to be seen from August 18-20 in Uttarakhand with severe rainfall in northeast India. Furthermore, the IMD said that the subdued rainfall is to be witnessed in pending parts of Northwest and central, west, and south India in the upcoming seven days.

From the report by IMD, it is seen that northeastern parts of India are most likely to be subjected to isolated downpours for the next 3 days continuously. The weather office has even determined the possibility of flash floods for Bihar, Assam, Meghalaya, sub-Himalayan regions, Sikkim, West Bengal, and the Gangetic region of West Bengal.

The forecast has announced in its report that there is no probable rain activity found in Delhi-NCR except for the cloudy sky enveloping the whole city. Gujarat and Maharashtra are also facing low rainfall activity with a chance of subdued rain showers or drizzle in the upcoming 5 days.

Apart from these isolated rainfalls, the Met Department has announced the overall rainfall prediction in India during August-September 2023 talking about the likeliness of India receiving average rainfalls during the rest of the monsoon that happens during August-September 2023. This was encountered after India faced flood-like situations, harming the life and property of thousands of lives due to the rainfall that occurred in the month of June.

Additionally, the department spoke about the El Nino phenomenon concerning Indian weather. The report stated that the El Nino occurrence is unlikely to happen or even impact the Indian monsoon in the second part. El Nino is basically related to the weakening of the monsoon winds and imparting dry climate in India, as per IMD. It is predicted that the monthly rain in the month of August 2023 is probably going to be below the expected or average in a year.
