Heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely over the central region of the country. Specifically, the states of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh need to be on alert for risky weather conditions. The flanks on either side, covering Vidarbha on the left and the border areas of Uttar Pradesh on the right, will also experience heavy weather activity over the next 2–3 days. There has been heavy rainfall in the past 24 hours over the tri-junction area of Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, and East Madhya Pradesh. Pelting rains have been witnessed in Bilaspur, Rajnandgaon, Mana, Nagpur, Amravati, Gondia, Chandrapur, Bramhapuri, Chhindwara, Damoh, Pachmarhi, Nowgong, Betul, and Malanjkhand.

More intense and widespread rainfall is likely at some places over the next 3 days, between 8th and 10th July 2025.

A low-pressure area is marked over Gangetic West Bengal with cyclonic circulation extending beyond mid-tropospheric levels. An intense convergence zone is marked ahead of the center of the system. The low pressure will move slowly west-northwest across Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and East Madhya Pradesh over the next two days. Later, the low pressure will weaken, and its cyclonic circulation will travel across West Madhya Pradesh and East Rajasthan. Active to vigorous monsoon conditions, triggering deluge-like situations at some places, are quite likely during this week.

The heavy rainfall belt will keep shifting slowly westward in a staggered manner. Heavy rainfall is likely over South Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Vidarbha, and East Madhya Pradesh today. Tomorrow, the rains will intensify and extend to cover North Madhya Pradesh as well. On 10th July, heavy rains will lash the tri-junction of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Vidarbha. On 11th July, the rains will vacate Vidarbha and Chhattisgarh but will spread over large parts of Northwest Madhya Pradesh and East Rajasthan. On the following day, 12th July, the rains will exit from Madhya Pradesh and remain largely confined to East and West Rajasthan. The intensity and spread of rains will start tapering significantly from 13th July onwards. However, light and scattered rainfall may continue for the subsequent 2–3 days.
